Julie has worn many career “hats.” She has worked in the retail industry, was a French tutor, an au pair in France, a construction information reporter and prior to attending seminary took some time off to spend with her boys. She is an avid reader, enjoys movies, bike riding, walking, travel and spending time with her family. She loves to meet new people and hear how God is working in their lives.

It is Julie’s fervent hope and prayer that all who walk through the doors of BUMC will experience the peace and love of Jesus Christ.
