Hi, I’m Julie!

TA Leader, Recruiting Project Manager & Coach.

The first time we meet, you'll find out that I don't have many secrets. My car's name is Roxy, my bike is my non-negotiable, my kids are smarter than their parents and my Golden is a credentialed service dog who used to visit hospice patients in her spare time. She is now retired and living the good life in the Colorado mountains with one of those bright-minded kids.

Since 2014, Uptown Minneapolis has been home. It’s a dynamic place, surrounded by Lakes Harriet, Isles, and Bde Maka Ska, with a vibrant retail and restaurant scene at its heart. City life and leisure intersect in Uptown, and the neighborhood has strived to overcome well-publicized challenges in recent years. For Uptown, resilience is our lifeline.

Whatever your struggle is today, I get it. Hiring well is critical to your organization’s success. Because I’ve worked with all kinds of companies, I know how to ask the right (sometimes hard) questions, and provide real-time, useful feedback. Together, we’ll collaborate to uncover dynamic insights and vibrant solutions.

If there's a better way to do Talent Acquisition, we’ll find it. I won't cut corners, but I love a good shortcut. Automation is a friend. So is data. And good shoes. The question running through my mind all day is…

If you don't have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?

Whether you need a sounding board, a coaching or training package, or a total TA transformation, let’s connect and learn from each other. My end-game is to stand at the finish line alongside you, a little in awe, saying, “Look what we’ve done!”

Let’s Make it Happen

When the best way forward is to change course, count on Uptown Talent Partners to help you find the way. We want to partner with you to design talent acquisition systems and strategies that energize hiring and bring out the best in your people.
