Other Contributions
Julie has had a long relationship with the Santa Clarita Valley. She started her volunteerism at a young age with
Girl Scouts of America and Rotary International; she later jumped into the SCV with two feet assisting AYSO
soccer and Sulphur Springs School. She continued contributing to the school system at La Mesa Junior High
and then Canyon High School. Simultaneously, Julie took on active role in both the Canyon Country Chamber
of Commerce and the Santa Clarita Chamber of Commerce. When the two chambers joined forces, she was an
