Julie Tucker

“Julie Tucker has been working with KVC since October of 2015 as a Family Preservation Service Specialist. Julie has a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and an Master’s in Social Work from Asbury University. When asked why she does this work, Julie says, “The days can be long and the family/home situations can be difficult, but I would not trade this job for anything. The reward that I have received at the closure of each family knowing that I have made a difference could not be more amazing.” Julie is one of many that make a difference each day with KVC. Thank you Julie for sharing your story!”
