Julie relocated to Charlottesville from Cleveland, OH in 2002. She spent the first half of her career in business marketing and sales before finding her passion in nursing. After spending 9 years at the bedside in UVA’s PICU, she is now pooling her skill sets to lead Children’s Surgical Quality. Missing direct patient care, Julie found the Well Room as a way to continue caring for patients in a much more calming environment!Julie has three teenaged/young adult children, two cats that only acknowledge her presence when they need food, and one spoiled rotten labradoodle.
