Joan is a mother of four and a grandmother of two, who was widowed after 32 years of marriage. She works as a school administrator and is from Rockland, Md.

Per her ABC bio, she finds solace “in the music of Elton John, spending time with her dog, and cooking. She envisions a “future filled with shared moments by the beach and cherished time with family.”
Joan took to Instagram to post the news of her being the first lead of the Golden Bachelorette.
“The secret is out!” she wrote, adding that she was “honored” to be the first female lead of the spinoff.
