How Julia is building a better working world
I believe that the power of our work grows exponentially when shared among colleagues, peers and the next generation. With this in mind, I actively engage with the infrastructure and real estate community, volunteer as a mentor at Urban Land Institute (ULI) and Women in Infrastructure (WIN), and lecture at York University's Schulich School of Business, where I teach in the Global Sustainable Infrastructure Fellowship Program, a G7 initiative.
