After fifteen years in the Aerospace Industry in HR as an Employment Coordinator, Julie switched careers and joined the fitness industry in 1997. Julie instructs fitness classes and is the Volunteer Coordinator for adult SNAP* and children with a disability programs, where she matches volunteers to assist clients one on one in a gym setting, creating a safe and fun environment through adapting a program to individual needs.
Julie feels that she has learned so much from her clients - from their individual strength of character in reaching their personal goals, to the pure joy she experiences when watching children moving at their own pace in the gym. She has learned that volunteers can and do open their heart to others, and that we all have the ability to learn and share with other people no matter what our needs.
