If you’re looking for perfection, you’re setting yourself up for disappointment. Look for fulfillment rather than perfection.
About Julie
- I grew up in a union household and am a fourth generation union member.
- By the time I got to college, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to major in, so I chose English because I liked to read.
- During my last year of college, I got an internship to work for San Jose Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren, where I helped individuals navigate their pathway to citizenship.
- Realizing that I really liked public service, I applied to keep working in government but no one was hiring, so I got a job working as a substitute teacher instead.
- I quickly realized that teaching was not the right fit for me—fortunately, I got a call to work for State Assemblywoman Rebecca Cohn’s office instead.
- After working for Rebecca Cohn, I spent three years working for Senator Ellen Corbett’s office.
- When the San Mateo Central Labor Council posted a job opening for political director, I jumped at the opportunity.
- I started with the San Mateo Central Labor Council as the political director in 2010 and took over as head of the organization in 2016.
