Julia Miller

Biography

What do you do?

As a member of the sales team at the Convention Center, I am responsible for selling over 40,000 square feet of banquet space with a primary focus on non-profit groups and social events.  As director of catering, I am also responsible for ensuring our food and beverage standards and policies are met on a daily basis.

What do you want to be doing in 10 years?

I hope I am fortunate enough to be as happy as I am today with my job and lucky enough to work with and for great people just as I do now.  And because what is life without a few dreams…it has always been one of my dreams to work for the New York Yankees so perhaps by 2021 I’ll be one step closer to making that a reality.

What's your biggest strength?

I believe my biggest strength is the passion I have for my work.

What's the best advice you received?

The best advice I’ve ever received comes from my parents. They have always told my sisters and me that we can be whatever we want to be or do whatever we want to do as long as we work hard. Through each stage of my life I have lived by those words.  If you work hard you will succeed.  I’m fortunate to also have parents who told me it is ok to make mistakes … every mistake I’ve made has helped to shape the person I am today.

What service or charitable cause has your attention?

Through my job, I’ve had the opportunity to work with so many wonderful charitable organizations by helping them plan successful fundraising events.  Each organization has touched my life and made me want to not only be a better person but also want to give back in any way I can.  Over the past few years, I’ve chosen to do this by being a member of the Waterford Charitable Foundation which gives back thousands of dollars each year to support many charitable organizations, both on a national and regional level.
