As Co-Director of Startup Grind Lansing, Julie connects founders and entrepreneurs to the resources they need to launch and grow. As a consultant and coach, she has worked with a number of startups, helping to secure tens of thousands in funding to expand sales nationally and globally.
Her own path took her from an Emmy award-winning career as an Executive Producer in TV news to small business owner and successful entrepreneur, named one of Lansing’s “10 Over the Next Ten” by the Chamber of Commerce in 2017.
Julie launched her own agency full-time in 2018, growing mConnexions to six figures within six months.
During the Pandemic, she continued to scale her agency while locking arms with other entrepreneurs to help them weather the economic storm. Her Facebook live series, “Expert Connexions” became so popular that it launched as a TV show on the Lansing ABC station, where it aired following Good Morning America every Monday for a full year before going digital in 2022.
You can also catch Julie hosting a podcast for women, called Think Tank of Three, and leading the Legal Marketing Association’s Voices & Strategies digital content hub, as co-editor.
