Communications and Consulting Team

Joyce Hoelzle brings nearly 30 years of professional writing experience to Blu Pagoda.  She has a background at the U.S. Consulate General, writing industry reports for the United States and Foreign Commercial Service overseas in Düsseldorf, Germany. She worked in the computer publishing industry before beginning her consulting work in sales and marketing communications for more than 15 years.

Joyce enjoys building relationships and working with diverse groups of individuals to enable companies to communicate at maximum competence. She is detail-oriented and enjoys proofreading and editing work. She is also fluent in German and attributes communication with people from different cultures to giving her a better understanding and appreciation of the English language.

Most recently, Joyce is pursuing the Professional Sequence in Technical Communication at UC Berkeley Extension. She holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Philosophy with a minor in Spanish Language and Literature from Boston University

Joyce lives in Marin, California with her husband and teenage daughter. She loves to be in the great outdoors in her free time. A fun fact about Joyce is that she once climbed Mount  Whitney (14,494 feet elevation), located at the Sequoia National Park in eastern California, in just one day and has run the oldest trail race in the U.S., the Dipsea Race, six times (so far)!
