Julie began her career as a Speech-Language Pathologist after graduating with her Master’s Degree in Communication Disorders and Sciences from Eastern Illinois University in 2001. She enjoyed working in the field for many years as she and her husband, Brett, expanded their family which now includes four active sons; Max, Drew, Hudson & Asher. She maintains her licenses and certifications in the field of Speech-Language Pathology in both Illinois and Missouri. As their family grew, however, life handed an unexpected trajectory which changed Julie’s career focus. After the cancer diagnoses of several close family members within a short period of time, Julie and Brett founded a local charity, Swing Fore Hope, in 2007. Swing Fore Hope is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that donates funds to vital cancer research being conducted at the Siteman Cancer Center of St. Louis, as well as financially assists local members in our community who are dealing with a cancer diagnosis. Julie has served as the Development Director for Swing Fore Hope since its inception, channeling her desire to impact her community through meaningful philanthropic efforts, working closely with all recipients. Swing Fore Hope has donated over $750,000.00 to both research efforts and directly to those affected by cancer. As Julie’s passions evolved, so did her career path. In 2018, she combined her desire to assist others in expressing themselves with her love of creativity and design and co-founded Twenty~Twenty Interiors, LLC, a small business specializing in interior and organizational design which serves clients in the Metro East and the greater St. Louis area. Julie has remained deeply committed to giving back, continually volunteering with organizations close to her heart while having served and serving currently on several boards and non-profit agencies in our community. Julie believes pursuing her diverse passions allows her to fulfill her own ambitions while contributing to her community. Following one’s own path with empathy, creativity and a spirit of service not only aids in personal growth but also has the potential to make a lasting impact on the lives of others. Julie is grateful for every opportunity she is given to work to positively affect those around her and thrives on the challenges and growth opportunities that new adventures bring.
