My Experience
I transitioned to coaching clients after having engaged in a successful executive, legal career spanning over 20 years. I served as an Assistant District Attorney in the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office, worked as a Trial Counsel and Director of the NYSE and FINRA, for 15 years, and rounded out my legal career as a Vice President, Corporate Counsel at Prudential Financial. During my extensive legal experience, I worked in various fields and in different roles. I held management and executive positions over the course of my corporate, regulatory, and prosecutorial career and was considered an exceptional leader and communicator with a track record of collaborating with business leaders to drive organizational improvement and large-scale cultural change.
My Education
I hold a law degree from Boston College School of Law and a Bachelor of Arts degree from Cornell University, where I was a four-year varsity letter winner and captain of the women’s lacrosse team. I also earned Professional Certifications in

and Life Coaching. My work as a coach draws on the full range of my education.
My Priorities
I am an avid sports fan (who often daydreamed about becoming an ESPN Sports Anchor). I coach lacrosse, love to ski and was a frequent participant in marathon racing but I am more currently a regular client of The Bar Method. My favorite movies are Rocky, The Shawshank Redemption and any movie that stars Will Ferrell. I am a single mom and my greatest priority in life is caring for my son and daughter. Raising my children in a loving and supportive environment will be the most important job in my lifetime. Whatever happens next in my life, they will remain the greatest gifts I have ever received.
“Coaching with Julie has been one of the most important experiences of my life. Julie coached me through two of the biggest decisions I have ever had to make and because of her guidance and support I had the courage and confidence to make changes in my life. She has equipped me with the tools I need to deal with any challenge that life throws my way.”

“I started career coaching sessions with Julie after I had become unhappy and stressed out at work. I had already spent almost two years trying to find another job before coaching with Julie. Working with her was the best investment I have ever made. Julie helped me get my priorities in order and helped me with take steps to find a new job – she improved my CV, researched potential jobs, prepared me for interviews and helped me feel more confident about my abilities. After two months working with Julie I was able to finally land my dream job and couldn’t be happier with my life!”

Career coaching is often most valuable when professionals reach a moment of honest reflection about where they are headed next. A skilled coach can help translate that reflection into practical steps, from clarifying goals to mapping the skills and experiences that will support a new direction. For people considering a major transition, whether leaving a long held role, reentering the workplace, or pursuing a long deferred aspiration, having an objective partner can turn vague ideas into a workable plan. Coaching conversations also create space to examine what success genuinely looks like, rather than simply chasing the next title or salary band on an established path.
Executive and life coaching share a common thread: both invite clients to lead with intention rather than habit. Leaders navigating complex organizations benefit from a confidential setting to test ideas, rehearse difficult conversations, and refine their management style. Outside the office, individuals can use the same disciplined approach to align career ambitions with personal values, family priorities, and long term wellbeing. Effective coaching is not about prescribing answers but about asking the right questions, holding the client accountable, and offering structure during periods of change. The result is a clearer sense of purpose, steadier decision making, and the confidence to take meaningful steps forward in work and life.
