Julie Patterson

Originally from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Julie Patterson has called Florida home for more than 20 years. In 2017, “the mountains called,” and Julie refined her skills in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Her love for Florida and her family eventually brought her back to the Sunshine State. Julie enjoys hiking, biking, and boating; however, her favorite recreational activity is swimming. “I love being in and on the water, and swimming is an enjoyable, healthy activity that you can continue for a lifetime,” she says. Julie shares that the best part about working in Recreation & Parks is making meaningful connections with our Villagers each day.
