Julie knew she wanted to fly the moment she saw her first paraglider in 1990. She completed her training that year and hasn’t looked back. It is safe to say that since learning to fly, she has not taken a vacation (or honeymoon) without bringing her wing along. Julie loves the quiet, meditative flying found when coastal soaring and also the more intense, exciting work to get high in thermals. After years of telling anyone who would listen how great it is to paraglide, she realized she wanted to introduce her friends more completely to flying.

As an Advanced-rated pilot, Julie brings 20 years of fun, safe flying and a broad knowledge of many sites and lessons learned from watching and sharing flights with many other pilots. With experience as both a coach and trainer, Julie has a keen analytic eye that quickly identifies where her students are having problems and where they are getting it right. Her mixture of positive and constructive feedback helps students assimilate the skills quickly and thoroughly. Now an Advanced Instructor and Paragliding Observer, Julie who prides herself on communicating both the key elements and bigger picture needed to become a complete pilot.
