Before SHW, I… had the opportunity to work in many variations within the meeting, incentive and event management industry. From hotel conference services to destination management services to spending the past 10 years in third party meeting management, I’ve had the pleasure of working with some of our industry’s best people of which some have become very close friends.

If I could travel anywhere in the world it would be… I have been fortunate to have had many opportunities to travel the world through business and personal adventures. Having just returned from a life changing trip to Africa I can’t think of anything that would top that but Thailand is definitely high on my travel list.

Over a Venti Iced Chai Tea Latte, we could talk about anything related to travel and the amazing experiences that come from interacting with different cultures. Beyond that, my passions are photography, kayaking, following professional football and soccer, entertaining, wine tasting and as most of my family and friends would attest to, Operation “Teach Julie How to Cook” is moving right along. I have also developed a new love for the sport of paragliding!
