- In 2019, Josee was the first writer for the Vietnam branch of The Smart Local, a franchise of travel and tourism sites stationed throughout Asia. The next year, she won the TSL Regional Awards: Individual Performer of the Year award due to her work for the site.
- As someone with acne-prone skin, Josee finds a minimal skincare routine —- such as cleansing with a mild cleanser like Cetaphil, moisturizing, and slathering up with sunscreen, plus minimal makeup —- does wonders in reducing breakouts, and she thinks everyone should find the skincare routine that works best for them.
- Before making the switch to writing, Josee was a real estate agent. In 2017, she was quoted as a real estate expert on an article published on South China Morning Post about Vietnam's fast-growing real estate market.
