Julie is the Founder of Know Our Planet and specializes on environmental research. Her mission is to educate the public by presenting academic reports, presentations, news, and information about our planet, our health, and the environment around us. People have damaged the ecosystem; how are we going to respond and solve the disruption we have caused to this planet. Her main passion is researching the human impact on public health and environmental issues of water and food sustainability. Her particular concern focuses on the planet's water and food system.
Her writings include "The Great Pacific Garbage Patch," The "Dead Zone," "Colorado River," "Washington State Agriculture," and master's thesis of the "2008 Farm Bill's Title IV Nutrition Policy Issue" show the ongoing hazards of what pollution has done to this planet and to our health.
Julie has a Master of Applied Science degree in Environmental Policy and Management/Energy and Sustainability Program from the University of Denver.
Julie has studied the following areas:
Water and Food Sustainability: Water Systems
Julie has a BS degree in Business/Organizational Innovation which covers:
Julie is known for her logical, investigative, take-charge personality; people think of her as a female Sherlock Holmes because she can be found with her nose in a book or researching the Internet finding and writing about innovation or an environmental issue/solution.
She served in the U.S. Naval Reserves for eight years as a Logistical and Financial Management Specialist. Her job entailed keeping a fleet ready with mission-critical supplies and equipment enabling ships to travel the world safely and efficiently. Julie obtained on-the-job training to gain strategic planning and organizational skills due to Naval training throughout her time in service. She gained business and transportation management skills by being assigned to a unit on a rotational schedule, depending on the need of the Navy. She could be found in the logistics or medical department of Long Beach or San Diego, personnel or legal department in Encino, or administrative office at Pt. Mugo.
She works on behalf of the environment seeking ways to develop and nurture innovation and at the same time focuses on energy-efficiency, recycling, and an overall well-being of the planet.
