Hall is a native of Baltimore, Maryland. At the
age of fifteen months, Joy was diagnosed with
mild Cerebral Palsy and was referred to the Kennedy

for the Maryland Easter Seals Society. In 1989,
Joy was chosen to be the child representative
for the National Easter Seals Society. During
her travels to promote Easter Seals and speak

many others, Joy made a cameo appearance on

MD. She is currently the Visitor Services Coordinator

American History and Culture. This involves making
sure that all visitors have a tremendous experience
including large tour groups. Joy's love ofSmooth
Jazz and its artists comes from stumbling across
a Kirk Whalum concert (he is her favorite artist)
and becoming hooked. For Joy, contributing to
Smooth Jazz Now is a dream come true for her.
Besides going to a good Smooth Jazz Concert, in
her spare time, Joy enjoys reading and lending
her time to wonderful organizations such theKennedy
Krieger Institute which was instrumental in Joy
learning to become an independent young woman.
