Education Consultant
Julie started her career in education in January 2000 at various institutions and companies. In her 20+ years as an educator, she has had various roles such as Teacher, Adjunct Faculty, Education Consultant, and Curriculum Writer. She saw the dire need for more representation of diverse texts, so she wrote the curriculum for Asian American Literature for Chicago Public Schools and started the pilot course in 2014. It is the first one-year core Asian American literature course in the nation. In addition, she revamped DEI modules for diversity trainings, and she wrote the curriculum for the newly mandated Ethnic Studies course for an online education platform in California. She has also been on several teacher in-service panels for various universities for how to effectively implement the TEAACH Act. Julie has her B.A. in English and her M.Ed. and Ed.D. in Curriculum & Instruction from Loyola University Chicago.
