Juanita was born and raised in Lawnside, NJ. She is a graduate of Haddon Heights High School. Choosing not to further her formal education at that time, she married a year later.

In 1977 she began her career with the Camden County Health Services Center as a Social Worker for mentally ill patients until 1983.

It was then that Juanita transferred to the Camden County Department of Health and Human Services as a Social Worker with the Division of Alcohol and Substance Abuse. Within a year she advanced to Assistant Director of the Division. In 1991 she was promoted to Program Coordinator, Alcohol and Drug Abuse for the County while functioning as the Director for the Division of Alcohol and Substance Abuse.

In May 2002, Juanita received the TWIN Award for women of outstanding achievement in industry.

After 25 years of service, Juanita retired from her long and rewarding career with the Camden County Department of Health and Human Services. She cherished the opportunity to spend more time with her family, friends, traveling, and doing church and community projects.
