Julie Flajole grew up in South Florida where she graduated from high school and met her husband. They have two children and are a “house divided” during college football season. Julie and her husband graduated from Florida State University where Julie earned a bachelor’s degree in criminology. Their first child graduated from University of Florida and their youngest is currently enrolled at University of Central Florida.

After moving to Brevard County, Florida Julie decided to follow her passion of helping others earning a master’s degree in social work from University of Central Florida.  She served as the first coordinator in a new Central Florida shelter for teens and young adults. In this position, Julie worked with the shelter residents to help them gain confidence and the skills needed to live independently.

This experience and degree served her well as Julie transitioned into academic advising, becoming a Certified School Counselor. Twenty-two years later, including 10 years as Guidance Director at the largest schools in Brevard County, Julie continues to serve students and their families. She remains current with trends in Florida colleges by attending the annual State University System Meeting as well as other seminars and workshops throughout the year. Julie works with students to ensure they realize their potential as she believes it is through this process that students make the best decisions for their future.

Julie is very excited to join the Milestone team and continue growing as an academic advisor. She looks forward to working with students by helping them recognize their strengths and meet their academic goals by finding the best college fit.
