What Julia does
I am a sexual health educator and trainer. I am currently developing the sex ed curriculum for grades 4-7 for the Yukon government. I have an M.Ed. in Sexual Health Education and can teach in the classroom as well as train educators or health care providers to teach their populations. Please see my website for more information.
I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience about sexuality to Biznik - Any questions? email me: julia@juiceboxradio.com
I belong to a few networks of sexuality educators in the Lower Mainland of Vancouver, BC, including the likes of Meg Hickling, Alice Bell, and Saleema Noon.
I was part of the development team for the Certification for Sexual Health Educators delivered through OPT for the first time in Canada in August 2006.
My media experience extends from doing a weekly JuiceBox for over 200 shows, to 6 pieces for a weekly talk show on MTV He Said, She Said" where I responded as the sexpert to inquiries from youth about sexual and relationship matters.
I've been talking about sex and gathering my knowledge base for over 18 years am raring to share it with you! Researching sexuality and planning and programming takes up the majority of my free time so take advantage and listen to my radio show, JuiceBox, to learn all you need to know about your healthy sexuality and relationships! www.juiceboxradio.com
