Consultant Spotlight: Joyce Hoelzle, Sr. Editorial and Marketing Consultant

Inspired by her husband and daughter, Joyce Hoelzle embraced the sport of running six years ago. Her first goal was a 5K race, and not long afterwards, she took on the Dipsea, the oldest trail race in the country. While the Dipsea offers some of the most beautiful terrains in racing, it’s a grueling and treacherous course thanks to its extreme inclines and steep steps.

Such obstacles did not stop Joyce from tackling the race—six times and counting!

A few years ago, Joyce pursued an even grander feat when she and her family summitted Mount Whitney. At 14,505 feet elevation, it’s the highest mountain in the contiguous U.S. While an estimated two-thirds of those who attempt the summit don’t make it, the trio reached their goal.

Note a pattern here? Joyce loves a challenge. Just as she’s passionate about taking her active endeavors to new heights, she’s equally passionate about taking her client’s technical and marketing communications to the next level; she’s an ace at creating and refining written content that is articulate, compelling, easy to understand, and error-free.

“My nature is very analytical,” she says, “I eagerly immerse myself in the process, unearthing hidden nuances and gaining comprehensive insights into every piece of content.” Whether navigating complex narratives or scrutinizing intricate data, Joyce brings clarity to the minutest of details, ensuring precision and coherence in content delivery.

A background—and love—for languages helps. Joyce is proficient in multiple languages and fluent in German, which enhances her cross-cultural communication skills and enables her to break down barriers for diverse audiences.

While she has more than 30 years’ experience in her field, she’s always looking for ways to reach the next summit. One of her favorite quotes is from the comedian Kevin James: “If you’re not learning, you’re not living.” Showing just how much she takes this truth to heart, she recently attained a certificate in Technical Communication through a rigorous two-year program from the University of California Berkeley Extension.

Joyce is equally passionate about instilling a love of learning and self-improvement in others. As a volunteer with Reading Partners, a national literacy program, she has tutored elementary and middle school students who are behind in grade-level reading. As an alumna of Gamma Phi Beta, she volunteers for Girls on the Run, an afterschool program that empowers young girls through a curriculum that underscores the connection between physical and emotional health.

Joyce lives in Marin, California, where she appreciates the unique blend of natural wonder and intellectual stimulation that surrounds her home. As often as she can, she takes full advantage of the area’s abundance of outdoor trails and open spaces, including Mount Tam, Muir Woods, the San Francisco Bay, and the Pacific Ocean. She also enjoys the unlimited opportunities for exploration and enjoyment found in nearby San Francisco and Berkeley.
