Jocelyn grew up in a household where it was a common thing to see her mother, Agatha Joseph helping others all the time. Agatha believed that children and families when nurtured and taught within a supportive environment had the potential to become successors in life. Agatha's heart was very BIG! Jocelyn wants to emulate what she saw as a child growing up by initiating a heart of service to those in need within our communities. With 20+ years in the Human Service profession, Jocelyn's experience and education along with her heart to serve, birthed Heart of Agatha Inc.
