Law and business are in Joan's family. Joan graduated from the UW School of Law exactly 100 years after her great-grandfather. Before law school, Joan worked for her family’s fourth generation quartz and silica business in Seattle. Outside of work, Joan recently finished a mosaic covering a 240-square foot seawall and is looking for her next big project.
