Julianne Wells is the daughter of Evan and Jane Wells. Evan Wells grew up in Chicago, Illinois and Jane Wells was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri. Julianne has lived in Carmel, Indiana her entire life and attended high school at Heritage Christian School in Indianapolis. Julianne has a brother Nathan, who is 30 years old, and a sister Libby, who is 27 years old. In her free time, she loves to plan parties, go to the movies, and go shopping.

Julie is caring, outgoing, and optimistic. She has taken three humanitarian trips to Colombia,

North Carolina, and Georgia and spent her time there repairing houses, teaching children

English, and visiting Colombian children in hospital. She always states her opinion, tries to give people honest advice, and is never scared to stand up for what she believes in. She has never been someone who things come easy to, but she believes that attitude is extremely important.

Instead of focusing on the negative aspects of a situation she tries to focus on how she can fix the problem at hand. Julie also tries to help my friends through difficult times by helping them come up with solutions instead of just consoling them. Her friends would describe her as a fun person who never passes up an opportunity for socializing, and always tries to make everyone have fun and feel comfortable. They would also say she is dependable whenever they need anything, and that organized in balancing work and fun. Julie’s family would say that she is very close to them and that she tries to keep in touch with them as much as possible. They know that she will do anything she can to help them and always does everything she can to make them proud.

Julianne has achieved many things in her lifetime. She has always been successful at balancing work, school, and friends. For the past two years she has worked 15 hours a week and taken 18 credit hours while maintaining an acceptable GPA. She is motivated to succeed.

Julie was the youngest person ever to be hired at the clothing store Bebe in Indianapolis as a sales representative, and was consistently ranked in the top two employees while working there.

After graduating from Purdue University, Julie hopes to be living in Indianapolis. It is important for her to be near her family and friends. She hopes to get a job doing some sort of sales. She realizes that she will realistically not have her dream job right away, but she is hoping to work for a decent sized company selling a product that she is passionate about. She understands that many companies will pay for their employees to go to graduate school and is hoping to get a job with a company that will provide her with a few years of work experience and then an opportunity to go back to school to receive her Masters in Business Administration.

In the future, Julianne hopes to eventually become a sales representative for a large pharmaceutical company such as Eli Lilly or Pfizer. She would also like to get married and possibly have children someday. To achieve her future goals, Julianne will be successful by always taking everything seriously no matter how small she thinks the job might matter. She will also try to impress her employers with her sales percentages in order to move up within the company.
