Julie believes in magic and the power of love. She is an enthusiastic advocate of a growth mindset and self-improvement and is on a mission to inspire and empower children around the world.
Thanks to her mother who is a fervent reader, she developed a love of reading early on. Books have had a transformative impact on her life, and they are what she turns to when seeking guidance and understanding.
She is the mother to a funny, empathetic, sweet, creative, daughter who is her biggest source of inspiration. Yearning to instill confidence, courage, and a sense of empowerment in her daughter and other young children, she was inspired and blessed with the idea to create the Magical Mia series.
Her debut children’s book, Magical Mia – Kindness is Contagious, empowers children to use their kind words and actions to spread joy and happiness wherever they go.

4. I love growing things! In 2018 I planted a food forest and currently grow 9 different kinds of fruit and numerous perennial greens. Our food forest is even planted in our front yard… Yes, we are those kinds of people!
