A native of Ossining\, where she serves as the Village Historian\, Joyce’s groundbreaking work\, particularly in the African American community\, extends beyond the boundaries of Westchester County. \nWith a BS from Mercy College and certification as a Genealogical Researcher from Boston University\, Joyce brings expertise and passion to her craft. Her engaging\, storytelling style makes her a popular speaker. Houses of worship\, libraries\, municipalities\, and schools reach out for her help in uncovering black history and culture\, subjects too long overlooked by the gatekeepers of history. She came to this calling when researching her own family history. It extends back to Bertie County\, North Carolina\, where her ancestors were enslaved on the Sharrock plantation. \nIn 2021\, New York State Senator Elijah Reichlin-Melnick named Joyce one of six people to receive a History & Heritage Award from for her work in creating theOssining COVID project and curating the revelatory Ossining Black History & Culture Exhibit at Bethany Arts Community\, where she sits on the board. That same year\, the Westchester County Historical Society appointed Joyce to serve as a Trustee on their board as well. The Ossining Public Library named her 2021 Volunteer of the year for her work there\, which includes lead researcher for the Little Bertie County Genealogical Society. \nHer program at Ossining High School promotes self-discovery through genealogical research. “The students learn more about themselves and see their families’ contributions to the world we live in. Knowing who you are and making connections is not only inspiring but empowering.” \nJoyce juggles all this with a day job: Confidential Executive Secretary to the Commissioner of Emergency Services of Westchester County\, Webmaster and Records Access Officer. Because she’s not busy enough\, she just launched a genealogical research business\, JSC Research LLC\, where anyone can hire her to dig into their family for them.
