She has traveled around the country speaking at conferences, camps, retreats, and churches of all denominations.  She is a regular speaker for Fellowship of Christian Athletes and Athletes in Action ministries.  Julie worked with her mentor, Christy Pierce, and the 1024 movement for over 6 years helping with research, resources, and speaking to bring hope for a hurting generation.  She currently partners with the Wonderfully Made Ministry offering resources through mental health workshops, several podcasts episodes, and as a teen girls Life Coach for their THRIVE program.
