Hi, my name is Julia!
I’m an operations management expert, marketing and communications strategist.
Over the course of my work in corporate real estate, non-profit and tech industries I’ve gained experience in operations management and process improvement, corporate culture and HR practices, events management, social media and video production.
Additionally, I've recently started a podcast called "Secrets of Your Success" where I interview people from different industries about their work experience so that they can share what they believe is the secret to their success.
