About JoAnn Hulbert-Eagan
JoAnn has devoted her life to advising, 7 years as a Learning Disabilities Advisor and 5 years as an Athletics Advisor at the University of Utah (does she have any advice left to give?).  She is the Director of Academic Services and oversees the Football and Gymnastics teams. 
 
After receiving her Bachelor's degree in Psychology from the University of Utah, JoAnn moved to Redding, California for five years.  Her greatest achievements there were learning how to sail and giving birth to her daughter, Meghan J. Eagan.  Making sure the grass was not greener on the other side of the mountain, she moved to Sun Valley, Idaho for 10 years, and opened a western wear store, Buffalo Jo's.  After swearing she'd never return to Utah, she returned and completed a M.Ed. in Special Education.  
 
When not working JoAnn enjoys reading, writing and arithmetic, tap dancing and skiing.  She also enjoys walking her dog, Marley.
