Julie is originally from Montreal, Canada, and has lived on both coasts, New York and California, before settling in to Grand Rapids, MI in 2015. She is passionate about research and statistics, which led her to earn her Ph.D. in psychology, and has been a college professor for the last 11 years. She has always loved researching homes for family members, and finally decided to bring her research talents to real estate! When she is not working with families in finding their perfect home, Julie loves going to pub trivia with her husband Derek, hiking and joining in for family board game night with her four children, Addie, Lucas, Jacob and Brielle.
