She began her career in 2005 in pediatrics and emergency medicine, including six years as a registered nurse at a Level II trauma center. In 2013, Julie earned a master’s degree in nursing from the University of Central Arkansas and began practicing as a nurse practitioner with a focus on family urgent care. She is certified as a nurse practitioner in family medicine by the American Nurses Credentialing Center. Her first job locally was as a hospitalist at Valley View Hospital.

Julie has thrived professionally since moving to the valley with her husband, Chad, and has fulfilled two items off her bucket list: being able to practice with a lifelong friend and living in the Colorado Rockies. Julie and Chad have been married for more than 30 years and have two adult children. They enjoy living in a place that has four distinct seasons and easy access to the outdoors.
