Julia Petersen

Community Energy Program Manager

After completing her education at Coventry University in England, Julia began her career in Operations and Program Management at Intel Corporation. Over the years, Julia gained valuable experience, bringing to WR a diverse background in personnel management, operations management, project management, strategic planning, and relationship building.  With two degrees in engineering (a BS in Manufacturing Engineering from Oregon State University and a BS in International Disaster Engineering & Management from Coventry University), Julia Views challenges from a technical perspective and how they impact the natural world.

Julia has traveled extensively worldwide, visiting and living in different cultures. She’s seen and done amazing things: Backpacking in the USSR and Morocco; rafting the Ganges and the Grand Canyon; shopping the markets of New Delhi, Marrakesh, Korea, and Kenya; wine tasting in Italy; Meeting Stephen Hawking; touring the belly of the CERN Supercollider; and staring down a 400-lb bear threatening her livestock.

When she’s not working, Julia enjoys spending time with her animals, traveling to new places, and trying new restaurants. She also loves cooking and reading, which helps her unwind and recharge after a busy day.
