Julie is serving as a Quality Program Specialist with the Department of Mental Health. While in Missouri Leadership Academy, Julie was the Deputy Warden of Offender Management at the Eastern Reception Diagnostic and Correctional Center in Bonne Terre. Her daily operations included oversight of custody and security measures as well as appropriate classification and assignment of offenders. Julie has served on various statewide committees within the Department and previously worked closely with the judicial system, local law enforcement, and the Interstate Compact. She has been with the Department for 23 years and, during her tenure, has served as an Institutional Parole Officer, a Field Probation and Parole Officer, and a Unit Supervisor.

Julie’s biggest takeaway from Missouri Leadership Academy is even if you don't fit in your current role, you can still be a successful public servant in another role within state government.
