Meet JoyBeth Moll!
JoyBeth grew up in Northeast Texas in a city named Marshall. She is an only child, and her family moved near Bossier, Louisiana later. She graduated high school with 37 people! In 2013, she graduated with her Bachelors in Communications and Spanish from Centenary College of Louisiana. She has always been very involved with her church, especially in children's ministry. It was at a youth convention that she met her husband, Casey. They jokingly say they met at a clown conference! They married on Cinco de Mayo in 2018, and she moved to Hammond to be with him. They are active members of The Pentecostals of Lee Road in Covington. She assists with the Children's Ministry planning, and loves coming up with new ideas. They are also very active with going on mission trips. They have been to Singapore, Malaysia, and Hawaii on mission trips. She raises money for their trips by baking cookies! John Henry's Sweets is where you can see some of her work! JoyBeth is also involved with the S.A.L.T (Student Act Leadership Team) Conference where hundreds of high school and college-aged young people come to learn leadership skills for a week in the Alexandria area. She attended the conference, and now is a leader on the team. She assists Kat Vet with adoption events and fosters kittens. She and her husband average about 5 foster kittens at a time. They do have their own pets also: 3 cats (Tigger, Sushi Roll and Coco Puff) and Maisel, a dog adopted from Kat Vet.
We want to thank JoyBeth for spending some time with us and letting us get to know about her life and her love of the area.
Q: What led you to your current career?
A: After I graduated, I worked for a law firm, then for a non-profit, CYBER.ORG. I still do freelance editing for them. Also, we needed a way to help fund our calling for mission work, so we had the idea to sell my cookies. We will be at the Sweet Treats on Main Street event in front of Kat Vet in Ponchatoula on December 11th selling them!
