Early
life
Joanie is the oldest of five children, three of which are half
brothers and sisters. She was born in Beaver Falls, and also lived
in Rawson, Ohio
for 7 years, and graduated from Cory-Rawson High School. Her
parents divorced when Joanie was 3 years old, putting Dodds into
shared custody with her sister Jennifer for years. Both of her
parents remarried and had more children. Joanie's father, John, is
a minister of the Churches of God in
Mansfield,
Ohio at Ridgeway Church of God. Her mother is the Purchasing
Manager for a steel company in Beaver Falls. In High School, Dodds
was considered a goofy, fun girl, but never the popular one. Not
until her senior year and after her move to Rawson, did Dodds
blossom and her personality came out. Joanie was involved in
Cheerleading, Track, Theater, Choir and Student Council. She was Student-body president and Senior Class
Vice President her senior year as well as the Vice President of the
Choir. She has been playing the saxophone and piano for over 15
years and was involved in Concert, Jazz, and Marching Bands until
the tenth grade. After High School, she attended the University of Findlay, in
Findlay, Ohio. She was a computer science major and economics
minor. During her time in College she was involved in Summerstock
Theater Programs in which she starred in several shows, including
"The Will Rogers Follies" and "Born Yesterday". She left University
to follow her career in Modeling after she was "discovered" at a ProScout event in Columbus, Ohio in
September, 2001. From ProScout, Dodds was signed with Paulines
Agency in New York and Aria in Chicago. Dodds modeled in New York,
Chicago, Pittsburgh, Cleveland before auditioning three times for
America's Next Top Model in 2003 and 2004, finally getting called
back in her third attempt. Joanie is also a Big Sister in Big Brothers Big Sisters and
makes university and charity appearances to speak to the students
and talk about the show and self esteem.
America's Next Top
Model
Joanie was accepted into the casting of America's Next Top Model,
Cycle 6. During her session with the casting judges, she dished
about how her father is a preacher and how she was a cage dancer
under his nose. She was called 5th to join the final 13. Joanie is
also recently featured on Vietnamese Model Project, which is a show
having nearly the same format as ANTM, as a guest judge.
Joanie has also been signed with Elite Model Management in New
