Julie Gribbins joined V.F. McNeil on February 23, 2009, as Administrative Assistant- Bookkeeper. Before coming to V.F. McNeil, Julie worked as a freelance writer for Shore Publishing, in addition to her daily, full-time job at the Rothberg Institute for Childhood Diseases.

Julie wrote a regular column, Single on the Shoreline, which appeared in the Living Section of The Shore Publishing Newspapers for a little over two years. Although Julie’s column was very well known and enjoyed by many, she felt after two years it was time for a new endeavor. However, around the same time, due to the economic slow down, Julie’s daily job at the Rothberg Institute was eliminated. She had a new focus, the challenge of finding full-time employment again. Julie took some time off from her freelance work and concentrated her efforts on finding a new full-time position. During this transition, she also worked on constructing ideas for a new column and writing her first novel.

Almost two months after joining our agency, Julie has decided to return to freelance writing at Shore Publishing. She has a new, regular feature, Shoreline Living, special to the Living Section. Her first column was recently published in The Shore Publishing Newspapers, titled, Promises, Promises. Julie stated how happy she was to have this opportunity again. She really missed writing for the local paper.

Congratulations Julie from everyone at V.F. McNeil. We look forward to reading your column every two weeks!
