Julie joined Almost Home as Director of Operations in May 2022. She had a successful career in property management during the previous 13 years. Julie recognized that something was missing – she needed a purpose. While working in new property developments in 2019 Julie decided that she needed to do more for the community. She opened a local nonprofit chapter of The Shoebox Project for women that are impacted by homelessness. Julie volunteered her time to do something that made her feel good while bringing people together and making a difference in a human’s life. She connected with Almost Home through her work with The Shoebox Project. In her role at Almost Home, she is thrilled to learn more about the nonprofit world and strives to keep the organization running as efficiently as possible while having a good time. Julie majored in English from the University of Missouri-St. Louis.
