#52 Julia West from Fort Knox Storage

Julia West is the HR & Operations Manager of Fort Knox Self Storage. She’s an experienced Operations and Human Resources Manager with a demonstrated history of working in the Self Storage and Tourism Industries.

 

For the past 6 years, she had given up her bed to sleep on the cold harsh concrete of the MCG, in support of the Melbourne City Mission and Sleep At the G event, in a quest to raise much-needed funds and awareness to end youth homelessness. 

 

She also inspired other asthmatics and people with other chronic illnesses to take control of their lives and understand that it is possible to live a relatively healthy and active life.
