RIT is one of the nation's premier career-oriented universities. University News is the primary information link between RIT and the media, faculty and staff, trustees, students, parents and alumni. Its publications include News & Events, published biweekly during the academic year, and University Magazine, RIT's alumni publication, produced three times a year with a distribution of 100,000. The Tiger Beat blog brings insight into the behind-the-scenes workings of a higher-ed public relations team.

As a News & Web Specialist at RIT University News for five years, Joanna was responsible for day-to-day operations of the University News web site as well as continued development and management of data and architecture. She spearheaded The Tiger Beat blog, from conception to reality, and encouraged fellow team members to get excited and involved.

Joanna also worked on media campaigns, created dozens of press kits, and wrote several hundred press releases on topics ranging from technical and scientific projects (e.g. remanufactured toner cartridges) to famous speakers and musical groups.
