As we celebrate 65 years of serving the Southern Nevada community, we also want to celebrate our staff and the impact they have across the valley.

Her work goes beyond schooling, Julie works with many high-quality childcare providers to assist in training and technical assistance for early childhood educators and administrators.
Julie’s favorite memory working with UWSN is visiting the Nevada Legislature to speak on behalf of children and families in Nevada around the importance of early education to ensure funding for early education programs.
