About Julia

I'm a recovering consultant turned healthcare strategy and sales leader. My day (and night) job is leading Public Sector strategy and development for the West Coast at a managed Behavioral Health organization. I'm an avid consumer of the written word, aspiring oenophile, and wannabe Julia Child.
