Biography

Julianne’s career in the tourism industry started in 1991 in London, and over the years has covered retail and corporate travel, plus she has been heavily involved in an extensive range of outdoor special events and festivals. She began her teaching career in 2002, moving into higher education in 2009 upon completion of an MBEM from VU, and her subsequent studies include a GCTT from the University of Melbourne.
