Julie worked in education for over 10 years and then spent 18 months working at a parkour gym. This entailed dealing with the administration of memberships, group and professional bookings, classes and funding bids. She also worked closely with coaches, athletes and younger participants. In this time Julie also supported coaches taking their Parkour UK level 1 coaching qualification and took a coaching qualification herself. Julie also took part in adult parkour classes!

Julie enjoy going to the gym, skiing, and challenging herself to take part in activities outside of her comfort zone, such as abseiling, sky diving and scuba diving. Julie is also currently studying for a level 2 and level 3 gym instructor and personal trainer qualification.

Julie has continued to follow the sport via social media and is really excited to be part of the parkour community once again.
