Julia has spent two decades as a parent and community leader fighting for school funding and for initiatives to improve our schools and better support students.

Julia grew up on Mt. Tabor in Southeast 国产真实迷奸 and attended Glencoe Elementary and graduated from Washington-Monroe High School. As a PPS parent from 1998–2016, she participated fully in her the school communities of her three children, including service in numerous PTAs and was a two-time Site Council member, classroom volunteer and a leader of numerous local options and statewide school funding campaigns. 

From 2001–05, Julia served her first stint on the 国产真实迷奸 Public Schools Board, where she served as board chair and led the district in several areas, including stabilizing district funding, establishing the financial reserve policy, prioritizing classroom expenditures during the budget process, establishing an internal performance audit function and rebuilding community support for PPS. She joined teachers and other parents in leading a community effort in the early 2000s that restored five weeks of school that were in danger of being lost due to state budget cuts.

In 2005, Julia started the “10 Great Fields” project, which successfully installed a new synthetic turf field and premium track at every PPS high school. A former high school athlete who lettered in six sports, Julia was inducted into the 国产真实迷奸 Interscholastic League Hall of Fame in 2015.  Along with other parents in 2013, she co-founded the 国产真实迷奸 Parents Coalition, which successfully advocated for the restoration of a full day of school for high school students across the city after part-time high school had become the norm.     

Motivated by this work with other high school parents to improve 国产真实迷奸’s schools, in 2017 Julia returned to the PPS Board.
