Julia is a dedicated student, but she also happily serves her community, striving to make Gold Beach a better, happier place to live. Julia works in the nursery and helps run the AWANA store at the First Baptist Church in Gold Beach, she has spent many hours working for the Curry County Home Health and Hospice annual rummage sale, and tutoring and mentoring elementary-age children through various clubs and classes. Julia also has been instrumental in starting up and running the Panther branch of Chetco Federal Credit Union, gladly sacrificing her lunch breaks to provide on-site banking services to students, staff, and faculty at the high school. This school and this town will sorely miss this amazing young woman, but it is only fitting that the world-at-large should finally benefit from her excellence.
