Joy is a Filipino-born presenter, writer and artist from Western Sydney. As a public speaker and workshop facilitator, Joy loves to encourage open conversations about culture and mental health, and as an advocate for women's health and wellbeing, Joy has appeared on ABC News Breakfast, ABC’s This Working Life podcast, SBS Radio, SBS Insight, FBI Radio, 2SER and the online television series Real Women.

Joy experienced perinatal depression and anxiety after the birth of her second son. As a woman from a migrant background, she understands the unique challenges and cultural pressures that can impact mental health and, after struggling with the stigma associated with help-seeking and therapy, now uses her platform to normalise conversations about counselling and other mental health services to encourage parents from diverse backgrounds to seek support. As a writer and speaker, Joy is passionate about sharing stories that create a more compassionate and understanding community where everyone feels supported and valued and sees seeking help as a sign of strength, not weakness.
