Born from a desire to make new friends in her neighborhood, Julie began a social media movement that enabled tens of thousands of people to engage with each other and with local businesses.

Over the course of 3.5 years, Julie created a handful of community programs and clubs that inspired predominately women to step out of their comfort zone and meet others in approachable and inclusive settings. From producing compelling content for small businesses to planning events and experiences that leveraged local flavor, Julie set those in her neighborhood up for success with the creation of boundless opportunity for connection.
