While there she also worked as a commercial model for companies like Thermaspa, IBM, Scholastic Books and more.

Having small children meant looking for a change, so she redirected her focus and found a new role as the manager of a brand new Bobbi Brown Counter. She successfully became one of the top 3 Bobbi Brown Cosmetic Counters in the Tri-State area which includes New York City, Connecticut and New Jersey! While working closely with Bobbi Brown and the team she made appearances at Bergdorf Goodman and Lord and Taylor as well as the Today Show. 

After moving back to Canada, Julie became the Beauty Boutique manager for a new Shoppers Drug Mart which then also became one of the most successful boutiques. She ranked in the top 3 in Ottawa for customer service and sales. 

In 2017, while working at Sephora, she decided to launch her YouTube channel in hopes of helping women gain confidence with makeup and hair. In the fall of 2021, she launched her TikTok profile with the goal of connecting with even more people in order to share all the information she could to help simplify makeup, hair techniques and skin care.

In just over a year, she has reached over 86000 followers on TikTok. Combining her platforms TikTok, Youtube and Instagram, she has over 100,000 followers. 

Julie is authentic, honest and transparent. It is extremely important to her to share what treatments she's had and she feels strongly about empowering women through education. 

Through sharing her own journey with the aging process, she wants women to feel great about themselves and to be aware of all their options. She feels we should have no shame in doing something for ourselves and that we all deserve to feel good within our own skin. 

When she started seeing Nurse Chelsey years ago she knew that she had not only found a talented practitioner with an amazing artistic eye, but also someone who made her feel like family when I walked into the clinic. Chelsey and the entire team at the clinic have always felt like her people. Julie feels that we all have the same purpose, and that's to empower women and men by providing knowledge and treatments that can help improve their confidence. 

Julie’s true nature is to share everything that is good. When she met Nurse Chelsey and the Team at The Cosmetic Clinic, she wanted to share their mission and knowledge with anyone who showed interest in what she can provide. 

Julie has been a longtime patient of The Cosmetic Clinic and is wonderful, kind and talented. We welcome her as our Brand Ambassador and are excited for her to share her continued journey perspective with you.
