No doubt, "the" best teacher in OCC and probably the entire nation. Take this class not only for the easy A, but if you have personal problems, if you suck when it comes to love, if your self-steem is low, etc etc etc...consider this teacher a free therapist. Your life will change. Note: ESL students (especially asian)you have to talk in class.

At first, I thought Joey was a little loud and slightly obnoxious. But, after the first class, it was pretty obvious that, not only does she know exactly what she's talking about, but she truly has a heart of gold. The amount of love she has for teaching and for her students (and people in general) made her easily the best professor I've ever had.

Joey is literally THE best teacher I have had at this school in the year and a half i have been here. She is so happy despite any situation she is going through and will make you feel the same way. i was shy to speak up & participate but she will pry you out of your shell and make you feel comfortable to voice your opinion

I Know she might only have one semester left, but she is one of the best Professors I have ever had. She explains interpersonal communications so amazingly, even half way during the semester I was able to apply the things I learned through her class to so many everyday situations.
