By nature outgoing and expressive, Joce was raised in the suburbs of Omaha, Nebraska. Her vocal training has provided her with the experience necessary to shine throughout a wide array of musical opportunities including CD recordings, state-wide competitions, and international tours. She couples her vocal ability with animated emotions during each performance. Her solo performances provide the audience with a unique version of each new rendition of the song she performs.
She is the founder and director of Piper's Place, a charity-based organization, which has focused on fostering and placing abandoned dogs in loving homes since 2002. Her efforts regarding animal advocacy spurred the decision for many Omaha-based organizations to ban the auction of puppies and kittens from their fundraising events. She also serves as a Board Member of the Omaha Dog Park Advocates.
