Joan  started her career in 1990 at Moore Business Forms, where she earned  Achievement Club status all five years she was there—including her first  year, when she was honored as President of the Achievement Club, the top  sales rep in the country. From there, she joined Altec, a smaller print and  promo distributor, where she helped grow the business and launched their  franchise print program. She also helped roll out their brand-new document  imaging solution, landing Mail Boxes Etc. as their first major account.    In 2003, after having 2 children, she decided to work for herself. That’s  when she launched my own print and promotional product distributorship. She  stayed in touch with Mark Ditteaux over the years, as they had both worked  together at Moore and Altec, and just a few years ago, he reached out and  asked if she’d be interested in helping manage some of his casino accounts.  "I’m so glad I said yes!    I love what I do. I love my clients. I get to find the perfect gifts for  them, stay on top of trends, and work with amazing brands. I’m especially a  fan of our Marilyn Monroe license and karaoke machines—just ask the  team!"    Outside of work, Joan enjoys Taco Tuesdays (other days too!),  rollerblading, short van trips, learning to paddleboard, and walks on the  beach—where she sometimes works, too! Joan is married with two adult children  and a few cute dogs. A fun fact about me: I hold a patent for a children’s  product I created called Character Bear, a plush bear with finger puppets  that teach character through storytelling. It’s one of my proudest  accomplishments.
