Joanna Gagis joins the NJTV News team as a Producer/Correspondent. Prior to joining NJTV, Joanna helped develop and launch the lifestyle show “Life & Living with Joanna Gagis,” an in-depth interview series featuring New Jersey entrepreneurs and philanthropists, great garden state destinations, and segments highlighting New Jersey’s culture – from fashion to cuisine. “Life & Living” aired on NJTV and FiOS1.

She is a member of Enterprising Women of New Jersey, a senior-level executive women’s organization. And her most important job by far is being a mom to her two young children.
