Julie serves as the Community Relations Coordinator for Lighthouse, sharing the mission and vision of our organization. As an ambassador for Lighthouse, she promotes our programs and services and helps foster positive relationships in the south Placer County communities we serve. Julie has a deep, personal passion for spreading awareness of Lighthouse to increase our impact so that others can be equipped with the tools they need to overcome their challenges. Her diverse background in hospitality, education, design and planning lends itself well to the coordination of our annual fund raising event and the creation of our communication materials.

When not working at Lighthouse, Julie enjoys supporting local businesses, service clubs and other nonprofits. She also enjoys quiet time listening to podcasts and spending quality time in the mountains hiking her favorite trails.
