After receiving a life-altering rare breast sarcoma diagnosis in 2019, Julie embarked on a journey of discovery, immersing herself in cancer literature, connecting with patients and physicians, and identifying resources to enhance her well-being despite the diagnosis. This transformative experience sparked a perspective shift that resulted in a career pivot from marketing professional to a dedicated patient advocate and active contributor to the cancer community. Whether co-hosting her podcast "Oncology Unscripted," networking with patients, or collaborating with various non-profits, Julie leverages her own patient experiences to advocate for improved resources, support, and care for those impacted by sarcoma and other cancers.
