I live in Portland, Oregon. I was born and raised here but have also lived in Washington, Virginia, Georgia, England, Ecuador and Thailand.
I come from a long line of entrepreneurs. My paternal grandparents owned a successful furniture business for over 30 years. My maternal grandmother was a piano and singing coach. The entrepreneurial gene, it seems, has always flowed through my veins.
Over the past three decades I have had the privilege to work and volunteer with Habitat For Humanity International leading working vacation teams to destinations in Africa and SE Asia. Combining service and travel has created the most memorable and interesting experiences from the over 40 countries traveled within so far.
I am an award winning, published fine art photographer with solo and group shows exhibited in the U.S. and internationally.
A few more things about me...
With over 20 years of experience in legal support, executive support, and small business ownership, I bring a unique combination of experience and skill to each client collaboration. I am passionate about helping business owners organize, streamline and succeed.
I’m Julie, owner of JL Virtual Assistant and a Dubsado Certified Specialist.

“Julie is a huge asset to my business. She is loyal, trustworthy, detailed, and efficient. She truly understands time-management and prioritization. Julie has proven invaluable as I moved my processes onto Dubsado in 2021. Having them on automation has helped me become more responsive to my prospects and clients. Julie has proven time and time again how knowledgeable she is with this tool. She is my Dubsado ninja!”

“Julie has brought stellar organization, creativity, and tested solutions to my coaching business. She established a client onboarding process that is simple for me and my customers to use. She is always reliable and provides the needed structure for my work week. Half of my revenue in 2021 came directly from Julie’s knowledge, skills, and advice in generating appropriate documentation and procedures with my largest client.”
