JoAnne Fields     Office Manager

I joined mStoner in 2004, bringing more than 25 years of office management experience to the firm.

I was born and educated in Illinois and hold an associate’s degree in construction management.

I started out as office clerk in a hospital and later as the office manager for a cardiologist. After eight years in the healthcare industry, I moved into the construction industry. For 17 years I worked for a commercial land developer as an office manager and executive assistant. doing everything from office management to office layout design, blueprint reading, job cost analysis, minor drafting and project management.

During these years I developed and implemented company policies and procedures, acted as corporate liaison, and managed a variety of duties that included bookkeeping for seven different companies, annual budget analysis, review and recommendations, vendor contract negotiations, and leasing of commercial properties.

I’m married with three sons and seven grandchildren, and I like to spend my free time traveling, reading, boating, and—most of all—attending sporting events to watch my grandchildren play football, hockey, and basketball.
