A hard working keeper/batter, Joanna can also bowl a bit of spin to make her a talented operator in every aspect of the game. She is a technically sound player who is adding to her power game as she grows into her cricket career.

Kept wicket for Ireland at the 2023 U19 World Cup, Joanna has been named in a number of squads where she has been back up keeper to Amy Hunter.

The gritty cricketer from Leinster Cricket Club aims to follow in the footsteps of her club teammates Laura Delany, Ava Canning and Sophie MacMahon into the Ireland team.
