Joya Schoolcraft

Regional Manager

Joya joined Ironpeak as a regional manager in January of 2018, but her association with Ironpeak goes back decades. In 1992, she began working for an Ironpeak Member Agency in Virginia and then continued her association with Ironpeak when she worked for a core carrier partner. In 2004, Joya bought that same Member Agency and built an impressive track record of profitable growth with Ironpeak and her carrier partners. Her Ironpeak agency experience culminated in maximizing her own agency’s revenue and value through the Ironpeak Preferred Member Agreement. Joya recently sold her agency to Ironpeak and is already imparting her personal Ironpeak story to her assigned Members and prospects. Her background makes her uniquely qualified to assist Members in optimizing books and maximizing revenue.
