Joan started her career as an Executive Assistant at The Boston Globe. In 1984, she left The Globe and became a desktop publisher working for The Words Company as an Applications Specialist. Following that, she worked for Wordsmith of Weymouth as their Office/Production Manager.
By 1990, when desktop publishing was a hot, new, and somewhat unknown computer program, Joan was already on the cutting edge of technology. She started her own business, JP TYPE, offering her skills in desktop publishing primarily to print shops. At that time, desktop publishing was a logical and efficient replacement for the standard Photostat typesetting process used in the printing industry, which was time consuming and costly to small businesses for their printing jobs. By contracting typesetting work to Joan, print shops were able to provide faster turnaround and lower costs to their customers.
Over the years, Joan has added the following to her list of services for small and medium sized business industries on the South Shore: Print Brokering, Word Processing Formatting, Proofreading and Copyediting, Database Management, Website Copywriting and Storyboard Creation, Office and Home Organization, and Trade Show/Seminar Planning.
