JoAnn Petrullo is a first-time author, fulfilling a lifelong dream with the publication of Vanguards of Light: The Calling. She grew up in New York City (loving every minute of that experience), and currently resides in St. Louis. An entrepreneur at heart, she has run a successful marketing research company for years. She has always enjoyed trying to understand human behavior, finding the “how” and “why” we make decisions absolutely fascinating. She is committed to enhancing her own understanding of well-being and is studying to be a well-being coach so that she can share that learning, especially among at-risk adolescents. With this book, her vision is to create a movement – a vanguard of light, and in so doing, cultivate a sense of community and connectedness.
