From Walt Disney World to Workplace Mastery
Julie’s career began in 1999 as a Transportation Operations Manager at Walt Disney World, where she honed her expertise in large-scale logistics and team leadership. When 9/11 disrupted every aspect of Disney’s operations, Julie was on the front lines, adapting to sudden policy changes and guiding her team through crisis. That experience cemented her reputation as a decisive leader who thrives under pressure.
Elite Trainer and Recruiter: Building Culture from Day One
In 2001, Julie earned a coveted spot on Disney’s “Traditions” Corporate Trainers team, competing against hundreds of high-performers. She simultaneously completed her B.A. in Business Management and M.A. in Organizational Management, demonstrating her commitment to lifelong learning. As Disney World’s first Regional Recruiter for the College Program in the Gulf South, Julie perfected her ability to identify talent and foster a positive, high-performing culture.
Leading Through Adversity: Hurricane Katrina and Beyond
When Hurricane Katrina struck in 2005, Julie navigated some of her greatest personal and professional trials. After enduring her own rooftop helicopter rescue and the loss of her grandfather, she led a multi-state team in recovery efforts. Her resilience and unwavering focus earned her recognition as a trusted regional resource—and set the stage for her pivot into executive coaching.
