Joyce is a Bay Area local who’s been grooving since she was five years old, starting with ballet. After welcoming her son in 2003, she caught the fitness bug and found her stride with the awesome power and rhythm of Turbo Kickboxing, eventually becoming an instructor. But her heart truly belonged to dance, which led her to discover Zumba in 2009. For the past 16 years, Joyce has been sharing her incredible energy in the group fitness community. She is currently certified in U-Jam Fitness, Zumba, and Groov3. She’s also a U-Jam Trainer and a U-Jam Jam-KrU member, and she is passionate about spreading the love and infectious joy of U-Jam wherever she goes. What started as a way to share the joy of dance through fitness has blossomed into a passion for bringing people together, building communities, and creating a supportive “fitness family” where everyone feels like they belong.
When she’s not rocking the studio, Joyce is a total pro in the pharmaceutical world! With 25 years under her belt and a Doctor of Pharmacy degree, she’s an expert in Medical Affairs/Development, ensuring top-notch quality, compliance, and process management.
What deeply inspires her is the pure joy she finds in empowering others through dance and fitness, and the incredible shared energy of fitness communities. Joyce’s core philosophy? True inspiration flows from leading with love and a dedicated purpose to uplift others.
