What others are saying
"Thanks for making this the compelling submission it is"
It was a fantastic team effort, coupled as Julie has said, by us being in multiple locations and time zones! We must see that as another asset that we have at HOST.
As I’ve already said to you individually Julie, so many thanks for successfully guiding and corralling us, and helping bring it all together in the end to really successfully represent what HOST can offer. I’m sure there is much in there we can also use for future applications."
- Rochelle Stewart-Allen, Chief Executive
"Just a note to say thanks"
Just a note again to say thanks for your help last week. You certainly made a difference and we could not have delivered what we did without your valuable input. I have seen the documents issued for other networks and ours certainly looks way better."

Origin Story: The Girl That Dared To Grow
The fascinating historical story of a small village, school and education in the 20th century
Every powerful voice has roots. Julie's journey began in a small coal mining village, where she attended Northfield Middle School.
Early Days
Julie was just your typical schoolgirl, quiet, shy and zero confidence. She had a good group of friends, got average grades, and enjoyed cross country running.
Higher Education
As her grades were average, it meant that she didn't make the grades for sixth form and left school at 16 years old. No job, no plan and no career.
Engineering
Julie signed up for a secretarial course and got a placement in the mining engineering company. She landed a job in the drawing office and asked if she could attend a technical drawing course. This was the start of her engineering journey.
Breaking Barriers
Fast forward in 12 years and as a woman in civil engineering. Julie navigated challenges with grace and grit. Soon learning the skills of confidence, connection and speaking up with clarity.
Giving Back
After a successful career in engineering and being the Auckland branch chair of Engineering New Zealand (only the 3rd female in 100 years to hold this position). Julie now gives back by speaking about Confidence, Connection and Clarity.
