Julie joined the KTVU/FOX news team in 1997. Before moving to the Bay Area she co-anchored a two-hour weekday morning newscast at KIRO-TV in Seattle, where she also hit the streets on a regular basis for live reporting. Prior to that, Julie worked as the primary week-night news anchor and reporter at KJEO-TV in Fresno. She began her career in 1990 at KNDO-TV in Yakima, Washington, where she worked as a reporter, anchor, producer, editor, writer and photographer.
Julie grew up in Tacoma, Washington and is a graduate of the University of Washington, where she majored in Broadcast Journalism.
Now, as a mother here in the Bay Area, Julie says she couldn't think of a better place for her and her husband to raise their two young sons.
Her hobbies include walking, playing tennis, horse-back riding and traveling.
