This week's #HumansOfJVS is our own Julia Tapper! Though Julia originally came to us as a Direct Care worker for the Choices program, she really found her calling working as a Capability Counselor!
"After working as a loan officer and underwriter for 10 years, I hit the wall with selling mortgages three years ago; it often felt like clients needed more help than I could offer. My stomach would sink when I had to end a phone conversation without being able to help the individual or family on the other end make a plan. After restructuring my mortgage banker lifestyle and making a major career change, I now get to help people like this every single day as a Financial Capability Counselor at JVS. It’s not always easy, and my job often ends up being part therapist and part marital counselor all while guiding people through difficult financial situations, but I wouldn’t change it for the world."
