 Julie is a Senior Lab Technician for Biological Sciences and Associate Faculty for Aquarium and Aquaculture Science at Saddleback College, where she has been employed for over 27 years. She has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Biological Sciences with emphasis in Marine Sciences from San Diego State University and is a certified SCUBA diver, scientific diver, small boat operator and collects, maintains and propagates a variety of marine organisms in approximately 3,200 gallons of temperate and tropical marine aquarium systems for the college. 
In addition to her fulltime job as technician, where she preps, maintains and manages instructional supplies, instruments and equipment used in the biological sciences, she also teaches part time for Biology and Aquarium Science. She also oversees the new Aquarium and Aquaculture Science program and supporting Aquarium Lab Facility. As a long-time enthusiast for the oceans, marine ecology and the global conservation efforts of threatened marine ecosystems, she was instrumental in the development of a premiere Certificate/Degree program, Aquarium & Aquaculture Science, which was officially accredited by the State Chancellor's Office, October 2003. It is the first and only program of its kind in the State of California.  Over $85,000 worth of supplies, equipment and funding have been secured over the past 10 years, dating back from the grassroots, pilot course of 1998 to present day.  Several major Industry, Research Facilities and Public Aquariums, Interpretive Centers and Organizations have partnered with Saddleback Colleges' Aquarium & Aquaculture Science Program and provide supplies, equipment, serve on advisory committee for curriculum and program review, and sponsor "real" worksite experience through various workshops and back scenes tours.
