Speaker: Julie Nash, CVT, CVPM, PHR, SHRM-CP
Julie Nash is a management consultant with over twenty years of experience working in veterinary hospitals. Prior to consulting, Julie spent eight years as Hospital Administrator at a ten-doctor practice which provided general, 24-hour emergency, and specialty services. Inspired by the owner's vision, she led the hospital team to double profitability and nearly triple revenue during her tenure. In 2011, Julie was awarded the distinction of Certified Veterinary Practice Manager by the Veterinary Hospital Managers Association. Julie became certified as a Professional in Human Resources in 2010, and additionally, she is certified by the Society for Human Resource Management as a Certified Professional. In 2014, Julie shifted her primary focus towards leading other practices as a consultant and founded Practice Moxie, her own independent consulting firm.
Prior to her career in management, Julie worked for many years in private practices as a technician and also spent six years at the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital. There she received advanced training in anesthesia/pain management, critical care nursing, and oncology. It was at UF that Julie realized how much she enjoyed teaching veterinary team members and discovered her desire to help others grow. She is passionate about patient care and interacting with veterinary team members.
Over the last two years, Julie has narrowed her consulting focus to training and team development as her primary interest. Julie became a Master Trainer through Association for Talent Development in 2016 and completed a Certificate Program in Coaching also through ATD.
