Joanne Connolly Administrative Assistant
Center for Career Development

Joanne Connolly grew up in Framingham, MA and attended three different colleges to get her undergraduate degree. She graduated from Framingham State University in 2012 with a degree in biology and a concentration in secondary education. Through her experience in substituting, she found that teaching was not for her. However, she enjoyed getting to know her students and discovered a true passion in helping them access higher education. Combining this passion with her experience in the college transfer process, she decided to pursue a career in higher education.

When Joanne's not working, she enjoys Zumba classes, baking, reading, traveling with her husband, Taylor, and singing — both in musicals and in traffic jams.
