Joni helps agricultural producers and their employees understand and comply with the Environmental Protection Agency’s Worker Protection Standard (WPS). The program places special emphasis on Plain Sect communities throughout the state and migrant and immigrant farm workers.

Joni offers technical and compliance assistance through:

on-site visits to farms, orchards, greenhouses, and nurseries;
presentations at agricultural producer meetings and conferences; and
the development of safety training materials.

Before joining PORH, Joni worked for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, most recently at the Department of Agriculture on the Spotted Lanternfly team where she provided compliance assistance to businesses within quarantine areas. She also was a Law Enforcement Ranger for State Parks with the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. These positions allowed Joni to develop strong communication skills and the passion for helping people.

Joni earned a B.S. in Horticulture and Landscape Contracting from Penn State. She and her husband live in Clearfield and have four adult children.
