A St. Louis native, Julia moved to Texas to attend Texas Christian University, graduating with an accounting degree. Julia later made her way down to Austin to join the DSACT team in June 2021. She is so grateful to be a part of this wonderful organization! Her prior nonprofit experience includes fundraising, finance, and sponsorship positions for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. From a young age, Julia also worked and volunteered in the disability community.
For her first three years at DSACT, Julia served in Programs and Events roles. She organized the social and recreational programs throughout the year including larger community events like the Holiday Party and the Summer Family Day. Additionally, she managed various fundraising events like the Buddy Walk, Cocktail Bash, Austin Marathon, and Year End Giving.
In her current role as Executive Director, Julia continues to oversee Programs and Events while supporting other DSACT staff members, developing relationships in the Central Texas community, and guiding the strategic vision for DSACT.
In her free time, Julia enjoys traveling, crafting, going on walks with her dog, and spending time with friends and family!
