JULIA POPE

Julia started her career with AmeriCorps completing a year of service with City Year Boston in a K-8 school in Roxbury, MA. National service instilled a unique sense of responsibility and commitment to our local and global community. She continued this work teaching media literacy in Mattapan, MA. Leaving the classroom in 2016, Julia worked as an education director and product manager at a few sustainable agriculture and renewable energy startups.

Out of these experiences emerged leadership skills and a hunger for innovation. Julia is now a product manager at Axios, a nationwide news outlet delivering high quality journalism at a national and local level. Julia was born and raised on the Maine Coast and lives in Portland with her wife Sara. Outside of her home office, you can find Julia in her gardens, hammering away at home improvement projects, and enjoying outdoor sports in every season-- all the while shadowed by their two adopted dogs: Diesel and Moose.
