Bio
Ginny Somma
Julie is a dynamo. She is a terrific producer – whether in the field or post. She has a knack of digging up interesting stories both domestically and internationally, which is difficult as not every producer is skilled at turning things around quickly and efficiently when working overseas. She instills confidence because every detail is always covered. In addition, she exhibits a grace under pressure that would fold some of the best around. Her energy is invigorating, enabling her to get more than the usual sound bite. She’s a vibrant personality and someone I wish to work with again… and again.

Julie was an awesome mentor during our time together at Optomen. She's super smart, experienced, and was always looking to dole out important advice while we were on the road together. Not only was Julie a great colleague, she was a great teacher. I learned a ton working with her.
