Author Comment / Biography: Prior to launching NuestroTiempo.us, Julie published El Sol de San Diego, a biweekly, bilingual newspaper that enjoyed a 20-year print run, while garnering hundred of journalism awards for its excellence in journalism and reporting. These honors came from organizations such as the National Association of Hispanic Publications; The National Conference (formerly the National Conference of Christians and Jews); the San Diego Society of Professional Journalists and the San Diego Press Club.
She met President Clinton and had her picture taken with him when he was invited to be keynote speaker at the NAHP's annual event held in Washington, DC.
She was a panelist on “Ask the Media,” a San Diego event hosted by her news idol, the late Peter Jennings, who anchored ABC’s “World News Tonight.” Among the other panelists was another media idol, San Diegan Neil Morgan, who Julie considers one of the greatest journalists ever, anywhere.
Julie is a Fellow of the USC Annenberg/The California Endowment Health Journalism Fellowships program.
