Joanna M Jimenez was born in San Antonio Texas. She lived in Texas till the age of 6. Her family moved to Pasadena California in 1980 and that is where she completed high school. Joanna married her high school sweetheart right out of high school and had five children. Throughout her children’s education she volunteered in the PTA and was engaged in volunteering in her kids’ classrooms during their elementary school years. Joanna and her husband started a small swimming pool company which in time grew and became successful and is still in operation to this day. Joanna and husband also opened a small restaurant and two flower shops. The restaurant did not last long. However, the two flower shops were solely run by Joanna and became successful.
As a result, Joanna became a member of several local Chamber of Commerce to promote the flower shop business. Joanna’s Floral Expressions which is the DBA has been well known in the local community. Joanna is now going into her 12th year as a faithful member of the San Gabriel Chamber of Commerce. This year 2023 will be Joanna’s second time serving as Chamber President. After Joanna’s divorce in 2017 and then attending her youngest child’s college graduation, she pondered her next step in life. After raising five children, three of them college graduates from the Unites States Merchant Marine Academy, and two in the family pool business, and being a successful entrepreneur in the community, Joanna decided to pursue a college education. Joanna enrolled at Pasadena City College and with the same work ethic, determination, and enthusiasm she will be completing an Associate’s Degree in May 2023. Her goal is to earn a Bachelor’s degree in psychology with and emphasis in Child Development. Currently Joanna spends her time studying, running her part time flower business, volunteering in local community organizations, and spending time with her grandchildren. And when she has extra time, you can find her cycling the San Gabriel River trail or salsa dancing. Most importantly Joanna is a woman of faith.
