Interview with Julia
Tell us about yourself
I was born and raised in Arizona and the heat still surprises me every summer! I have a one year old son who is my pride and joy. Becoming a mother was always my dream and I have loved every minute of it! In my down time, I enjoy spending time with my husband, son and our golden doodle Zoey and going on little family adventures together.
Why did you become a Speech-Language Pathologist?
I became an SLP because I have always had a passion for working with children. Being an SLP isn’t just a job title to me, it’s a chance to truly make a difference in the lives of children and their families. It is such an honor to be part of their growth!
Why do you think your coworkers nominated you for being empathetic?
I hope they nominated me because they feel seen and know that I truly care about each one of them, both inside and outside of work. I work with the best TEAM and am very thankful for them every day.
What do you love most about working with TEAM 4 Kids?
I love that I get to be part of a TEAM who truly cares about their clients and celebrates the big and small wins. It’s such a game changer to work in a healthy, collaborative environment.
If you could have one wish come true, what would it be?
If I had one wish, it would be that we got to relive special moments with the family members and friends we have lost. I would love to give my husband more time with his dad.

“Julia is a walking definition of Empathy! She is always tuned into others’ emotions, and you can tell she genuinely cares about how others are feeling.”
“Julia is one of the most empathetic people I have ever met. When a parent or coworker comes to her with a concern, she gives them her full attention and genuinely makes them feel heard and understood. She offers whatever support she can, and people often walk away from the conversation feeling significantly better simply because of the care, compassion, and understanding she provides.”
“She is so easy to talk to. She tries to see things from other points of view. She shows empathy during difficult or emotional conversations with parents.”
