Joanna has lived in Baltimore since she joined the faculty in 1995, after spending 4 years in Nashville and the rest of her life in California. She brings a little west coast chill to the frenetic east coast. The garden is where you'll find Joanna on any day the temperature is above 60, planting, weeding, and pruning. This usually results in lovely flowers, lots of tomato sauce, and perhaps an apple pie or two. Natally unencumbered, Joanna lives by the motto: "Kids are for people who can't have cats." Each spring, she plans a two week trip to China and invites people from the Morgan community to join her.
