Joanie Faust is an Arizona native, graduating from Xavier College Preparatory and the University of Arizona where she received her BA in Creative Writing. She spent nearly ten years as a writer, editor, and content director for several Phoenix-based magazines and marketing agencies.
An opportunity to be thrown into a classroom during a pandemic was apparently too good to pass up, so she dove headfirst into a different career that she has loved ever since. Mrs. Faust has now found a home at NPX teaching 7th grade Literature & Composition, implementing and running the ELA Intervention program, leading the chess team, and helping anywhere there’s a need.
When she’s not in a classroom, Mrs. Faust can be found with her husband and two young sons, both of whom attend Archway North Phoenix. Go Argonauts and Gladiators!
