Educated at Brigham Young University and the University of Utah, Julie, MS, CCC-SLP, lived the SNF life for six years in the greater Seattle area until she became overwhelmed by the amount of overtime she was working and decided to travel the world for a year and a half.
Since returning in July 2018, she has held jobs in SNFs, hospitals, and inpatient rehab, and started her own practice—her most challenging endeavor to date. Certified in MDTP and LSVT and trained in PhoRTE, SPEAK OUT!, LMRVT, and CSCFT, she is working to branch out into non-Parkinson’s voice treatment as well, though her true passion remains working with individuals with Parkinson’s disease. She volunteers at a music therapy group and helps with a boxing group on Saturdays when she’s not working.
