Julie grew up in Baltimore, MD, and Eureka, CA. Amazing Albania and South Africa are the two places she’s been on mk2mk summer mission, as well as staffing conferences in Turkey, Egypt, and Spain. After high school, she took a gap year and worked in almost every position at her mom’s Italian restaurant before attending Humboldt State University for a degree in Food and nutrition, Child Development, and Textile Science. Other than a few places in the US, she’s lived in Bulgaria and most recently, Budapest, Hungary. She currently calls Orlando home. One of her roles on the mk2mk team is championing mk2mk Connect with MK and TCK youth around the world. She’s seen how it can foster community and provide a place to grow in Christ.
