Combining humor with compelling stories of changed lives, Julie is gifted in communicating the message of hope through Christ. Although Julie is often booked to speak/teach at women’s events, she is also an accomplished ventriloquist. Julie’s talent and humor through ventriloquism often features “BC” or “Miss Mildred,” a favorite at women’s ministry events! Whether you choose to use her ministry through ventriloquism or her unique gift as a compelling communicator, Julie will provide your audience with a challenging and memorable experience.

Julie developed her call to ministry out of a love for people and a desire to be used to encourage others in their faith journey. In 1996 Julie joined the staff of Florida Baptist Children’s Homes/One More Child where she served for 20 years in leadership positions. This tender ministry captured her heart! She continues to champion the cause of foster care, adoption, feeding programs, and international ministry having served extensively in national and global mission engagements.

Julie has a passion for helping others grow and excel in their spiritual journey. In early 2017 Julie joined the staff of Samford University where she now serves as Director of Parent and Family Programs. She loves encouraging, supporting and walking alongside parents of college-age students.
