She is a graduate of Oklahoma State University – College of Osteopathic Medicine, where she developed a passion for all aspects of medicine. This led her to choose a combined Family Medicine and Osteopathic Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine residency at Northeast Regional Medical Center in Kirksville, Missouri.

After completing her residency, she started a private practice in Pryor, Oklahoma, close to her childhood home in southeast Kansas.  She found joy in providing complete family care from delivering babies to geriatric care. After several years of practice, Dr. Joy discovered her second passion: teaching. She joined the faculty of Oklahoma State University-College of Osteopathic Medicine as an Assistant Professor.  This opportunity combined her love of caring for patients while inspiring and educating the nation's future physicians.  In 2017, she moved to her current position. She lives with her family in Joplin, Missouri, and she enjoys reading and quilting in her spare time.
