Julie Flanagan
Julie works for a large global financial institution, but her true passion is reading and music. She is inspired by her friends; supporting and learning from them is what drives her. The social issues of 2020 are changing the ways in which she sees people, allowing for more empathy towards people, as everyone has their crosses to bear even if we don't always see them. Julie says that great stories have exceptionally descriptive narratives, but her favorites are those told with humor or an element of surprise. She believes that stories that are relatable to everyone are the ones that stay with us the longest.
