A graduate from the University of Denver, Julie completed her MBA, Masters in Real Estate and Construction Management, and BSBA in Finance/Real Estate with a minor in Leadership Studies all in 5 years with full-scholarship. She graduated summa cum laude and was selected as a member of the USA Today All Academic First Team (top 20 undergraduate student in the nation).
