Julie was born in Russia and came to the United States when she was 2 years old. She was raised in Baltimore then moved to PA for 15 years and has found her way back home to Maryland. During her years working in customer service, she had gained a passion for working with people. This led her to working with animals at a shelter which was some of the most rewarding work by far. Julie has always found a way to connect with people. She really enjoys nurturing that human connection we all crave in this busy fast paced society.

“Working at the Humane Society, I felt like I was really making a difference so when searching for a new job it had to be where I was helping people. Since working at HHA, I am honored to hear about our patient success stories and progress. It’s really the highlight of my day when you are a part of someone’s healing journey.” Julie enjoys cooking and trying new plant-based recipes, reconnecting with nature on hikes with her son, reading and learning about various topics including holistic health and nutrition. She hopes to study holistic nutrition to help people find healing through food and nurturing their mind and body.
