Julia has worked with over 20 Nonprofits in the Accounting field over the past 10 years. She “loves helping passionate people keep every dollar on mission!” She believes Nonprofits are essential in making the world a better place and finds fulfillment being able to help them stay mission focused using sound accounting practices. Being a nonprofit accountant allows her to feel like she is part of something much bigger than herself and that is really important to her.

She is also driven to participate in her community of Lake Charles, LA and the people that reside there.
