Joy Siegel

Joy Siegel, MBA, Cultural Gerontologist, Doctoral Candidate at NSU Feb 2012, spent 15 years as a fundraiser in the non-profit service community. During that time she had the opportunity to work with many fantastic people and raised over $350 million. Meanwhile, her mother was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease and Joy found adding caregiver to her list of jobs. Joy decided to go back to school and complete her lifelong dream of earning her Doctoral Degree in Organizational Leadership and Gerontology. Since 2008 Joy has been consulting with organizations that provide services to the senior population. She has established numerous programs that provide mental health support to seniors and is a highly recognized motivational speaker with her "Privileged Years Series" teaching people that despite the challenges of aging, there are many beautiful gifts that can only be acquired by maturity. Today Joy's mother has been living with PD for over 17 years and serves as a miracle for the work that Joy does.

Here's a sampling of the groups Joy has spoken to:

Hadassah Chapters
Century Village - Pembroke Pines Sports Club
