Julianne was blessed to grow up in a Christian home and accepted the Lord at an early age.  She has always known she has wanted to work with children and started helping out with the children’s program at her church as soon as she was able.  After high school Julianne spent a year at Briercrest Bible College and then returned home to attend the University of Western Ontario for music and later the Faculty of Education at Western.  She has a passion for music and is very excited to bring that back to the Academy again this year as she is teaching many of the music classes.
