Julie is a creative spirit, community advocate, and lifelong learner who believes deeply in the power of service and connection.

My journey began with the Walt Disney World College Program, where I learned the importance of making people feel seen and valued. After earning a marketing degree and raising my four children, I launched a catering company, blending creativity with hospitality.

Joining Rotary in 2009, I found my passion in youth service, leading at the club and district levels in Interact, RYLA, and Youth Exchange. In 2022, I discovered the New Generations Service Exchange (NGSE) program and quickly made it a focus of my Rotary journey.

As a former District Governor for Rotary District 7120 (2023–2024), I championed mental health initiatives and support for underrepresented communities.

Today, I’m proud to serve on the NGSE.NET committee, helping young leaders connect, grow, and change the world.
