Ms. Joyner came in as our new theatre professor with a new fire, style of teaching and information that I had not received. She did not just bring herself, she brought life experiences, colleagues, lessons, fun, shows and discipline. Ms. Joyner is a mentor, innovator, creator, visionary, and soldier. She pushed me to be better and I thank her for all of that!
