Julie Frederickson (2019 Recipient)
My name is Julie Frederickson, and I was the 2019 Recipient of the Rock the Board Scholarship Award. I graduated from Evergreen Park Community High School as Salutatorian in 2019 and currently attend Southern Illinois University-Carbondale. The experience of being an intern for Our House Wealth Advisors has given me new insight into the process of being part of a business team and a leader, granting me confidence and security in my goals of changing standards for women in and out of the business realm. Having Robin, Tony, and the Our House Wealth Team support me as a college student finding my path has been an experience of immeasurable value that I believe any woman should have.
