Joy Francis, MBA-Finance |
|
When a friend asked why she had to drive so fast, the logical thinker replied, "If the blind lady drives fast, she has less time on the road and that makes the road safer for everyone." |
Joy no longer
drives, but nothing will ever stop her. She has the energy of that bunny you see on TV. Legally blind since birth, but not told until she was 35 years old, she received both a bachelors and masters degrees never being able to read a page out of a book and receiving no reading assistance. She is now an adjunct professor of accounting at the Masters level. She talks to people throughout the country about financial matters, from what companies are telling you in their annual reports to how to
use that information to make you and your company more profitable to how to pay off debt quickly without refinancing and with no additional funds. |
Her personal story has inspired audiences both young and more mature. She never says it, but if she could do it, why can't I? is a question many attendees have as a closing comment. |

Her experiences and accomplishments, her outgoing personality and apparent self-confidence provide the foundation for her speaking endeavors. Her sense of humor has often been the best medicine. Thanks this sense of humor, Joy has worked around the many obstacles she has had to face. Her casual conversation has already been an inspiration for many.
