Julia is a passionate advocate for empowering women and minorities with digital skills that lead to financial stability and independence. A self-taught coder and former intelligence officer, she founded GeekPack to provide a supportive community where learners can thrive and overcome barriers in the online industry.
Drawing from her experience navigating tech alone, Julia created GeekPack as a space for learning, collaboration, and growth. Her mission to equip 1 million people with in-demand digital skills by 2030 reflects her unwavering dedication to driving personal and professional success for underserved communities.
Through meaningful partnerships, Julia was able to scale GeekPack’s impact and bring resources to underserved communities. By collaborating with mission-driven organizations, she ensures that more women and minorities can access the tools they need to succeed.
From starting GeekPack in an RV back in 2018 to empowering over 10,000 people to start and grow their own businesses, Julia embodies the freedom and flexibility her programs aim to unlock.
With her dogs, Blue and Ruby, by her side, she leads her team of Geeks to create lasting impact through digital education.
