Joanna Rybak, MA, MCHES: Employee Health & Well-Being Specialist, Pitkin County. Joanna graduated from Montclair State University in New Jersey with Bachelor and Master degrees in Health Education. Joanna volunteers when opportunities arise (e.g. Highway 82 trash clean-up, Habitat for Humanity). Currently she doesn’t belong to any community groups and is looking forward to being part of meaningful group.

Joanna became first interested in RFL when she started working for Pitkin County and quickly heard about RFL and how amazing it is in so many ways from Academy graduates. Joanna is looking forward to meeting new people and getting to know employees that she works with in a different setting outside of work, learning from the RFL Academy participants and RFL’s leaders as well as getting back into the spirit of giving back to the community, and ultimately growing into a well-respected, influential leader.
