Julia Crowe
Education Success Manager

Before joining DSS, Julia spent over 20 years as a teacher and education specialist. That background built a strong foundation for her current role, where she enjoys learning from her DSS colleagues and partners while continuing to grow in the fast-evolving world of education technology.

Away from Edtech, Julia’s happy place is in nature, listening to and identifying bird songs. She recommends The Bird Way to anyone curious about bird biology. She lives in Jacksonville, Florida, with her husband of 25 years, Mark, and often travels to Illinois to visit family. She happily spends most of those visits with her dad’s Flat-Coated Retriever, Claire Bear.
