Today weād like to introduce you to Julia Whitley.
Hi Julia, itās an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us ā to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
After moving back to the South Bay from Orange County in 2000, I became a behavior therapist for my school district for a couple of years. I love working with children and felt that I could make a difference in their lives. I learned quickly that politics are as much a part of teaching and working with children as they are just about everything else. However, I am so grateful for that pivot, because it led me to become an entrepreneur and start my own business. Finding your purpose organically is so fulfilling and having it evolve into something that resonates with others is incredible for the soul. We grew from just a few clients to being on the preferred vendor list at a few Southern California venues. I was taught well by my parents that no matter your station, everyone can serve. I worked for well-known caterers as I was still building my own business and was hired to be a lead on many high-profile events in Los Angeles. I realized then, that being in the service industry illuminated my mind and also kept me in good physical shape. Over the years, my clientele grew and we also branched out into staffing events. Our business staffed the USC and UCLA Ralphs tailgate events for a few years. What we loved more than anything, was being able to help provide job opportunities and a sense of purpose to 40 staff. Covid changed our business but didnāt stop our growth. We had to pivot like many others but found our footing and re-defined our structure. We are still being referred and are so grateful to have the growth and business that we do."
