Class Teachers & Facilitator
God has created each of us with unique gifts, talents, and we’re called to steward these gifts. I believe that work is a mission.
Our class goals are to make finding a job and leading in your career less mysterious, to offer you a safe place to ask questions, to help streamline your job search, and to offer you effective tools that we’ve seen work well in the search process.
Each week, we’ll learn from guest instructors, each sharing valuable insight from their own experience and tools to help you succeed.
About the facilitator: Julie Morris is creative director at Persona Media Co., where she works to help small businesses and nonprofits meet the digital age with an integrated marketing plan and data-driven outreach strategies. Her work has supported a broad base of clients, from national political figures to local independents she met in a coffee shop. She holds a BA in Business Economics from California State University, Long Beach.
See you in class!
