She channels her decades of experience as a zoo and aquarium senior leader, keynote speaker, facilitator, consultant, and leadership coach in over forty industries into teachings that are as relevant and practical as they are memorable and fun.

Julie and her daughter Tasman will deliver an inspiring message entitled, The Family Effect: Together, We are a Powerful Force to Change the World for Good!
