Q&A with Julie
What was your first job?
I was the Sunday morning newspaper delivery girl in my neighborhood — riding my bike with a heavy bag of papers slung over the handlebars. Every customer had their own special delivery spot, and I made sure each one got their paper exactly where they wanted it. Then came collection day — 75 cents a week!
What energizes you at work?
I love finding new ways to make things a little easier or more fun for clients. If something I do can add a bit of joy or take a little stress off someone’s plate, that’s what keeps me going.
What’s the best advice you’ve ever been given—and who gave it to you?
My mom once told me, “People may not always treat you nicely, but try not to take it personally — they’re usually dealing with something that has nothing to do with you.” It’s advice I carry with me every day.
When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
In my late teens, I met a Child Life Specialist at Boston Children’s Hospital and thought, That’s it. That’s what I want to do. Life took me on a different path, but I’ve always admired the role they play in helping families through hard times. Then, in 2023, one of those amazing specialists was there for my own child before and after surgery — a moment that brought everything full circle.
What would we most likely find you doing on the weekend?
Whenever possible, snuggling with my two grandbabies, but other than that, probably cooking, crafting, or binge-watching true crime.
What’s the top destination on your must-visit list?
Italy, hands down. My dream is to eat my way through the country, one meal at a time.
If you could snap your fingers and become an expert in something, what would it be?
Crochet! My mom taught me the basics a few years ago, and I’ve been trying to level up my skills ever since.
