I aim to connect with clients to fully understand their needs and reach amicable and beneficial solutions. Clear and open communication, respectful dialogue, flexibility, and creativity are cornerstones of my practice and fundamental in helping my clients reach their goals.
Julia is living a true aviation life. She married a pilot, enjoys a career in aviation law, and loves to travel the world with her husband and two sons. Back home, Julia stays active playing tennis, practicing yoga, and figure skating. She keeps her mind sharp with weekly mahjong games and reading 100 books every year. If not on the court, mat, or ice, Julia can likely be found walking in the woods.
