Julie grew up in Austin, TX where she received her Bachelor of Science in Chemistry at the University of Texas at Austin (Hook ‘em!) before moving to Ft. Worth to attend the University of North Texas Health Science Center to receive her Master in Physician Assistant Studies. After graduating, she moved back home and worked as a PA-C in skilled nursing and long-term care facilities for a year before she met her now husband and moved to Houston in 2015 to work at MD Anderson Cancer Center in the Leukemia Department. While working, she received her Doctorate of Medical Science degree from the Rocky Mountain University of Health Professions. After 10 years at MDACC, she transitioned to a new career as a medical science liaison, still in the field of hematology/oncology. Julie is married with two children, a girl and a boy, and is also a dog mom. In her spare time, she enjoys learning how to play the piano, reading, and appreciates dry humor, “dad jokes”, and sarcasm.
