About Julia Power
From a young age, I gained a deep respect for culture and diversity of thought. Moving every three years I was often thrown into different worlds and new cultures. This experience has made me not only adaptable but also conditioned me to be respectfully curious. I’m passionate about learning and enthusiastically seek growth opportunities. I’m very grateful for my 11 + years living abroad across the following beautiful countries: Italy, Croatia, Germany, Israel, France, Ethiopia, and now Ireland.
A warm welcome to my personal website! Please free feel to take a moment to learn more about my abilities, skills, aims, and achievements. If you’d like to connect, please follow the shortcut to my LinkedIn profile.
Cheers to always learning!
MSc in Management soon-to-be graduate driven by mission and impact-oriented work. Professional passions include: Developing trusted partnerships, creating magical candidate experiences, knowledge sharing, collaborating, and process improvement. I bring energy, passion, and dedication to any professional environment.

Recent Accomplishments
Global Leadership Programme
Smurfit’s Global Leadership Programme is a prestigious opportunity to engage in a diverse range of co-curricular personal development activities to develop personal transformational leadership skills for a global environment.
The pillars of GLP are Student Leadership, Workplace Skills, and Career Planning. To complete my GLP certificate, I participated in all three pillars, documenting my direct impact and reflecting on experience.
One notable project I worked on for the Student Leadership pillar was creating a Thank You video for the Smurfit faculty and staff. I worked with six other students across different programmes, developing critical teamwork skills which enabled us to create a video to lift the spirits of the Smurfit community.
Intercultural Development Programme
I received my Advanced Certificate of Completion for the Intercultural Development Programme (ICD) offered by UCD Michael Smurfit Graduate Business School.
This certificate represents the ~15 hours of workshops and independent study I completed covering subjects such as:
Conflict Management
Intercultural Competence Development
Cross-Cultural Communication
Working in Teams
Working in Virtual Teams
ICD has strengthened my ability to successfully manage intercultural relationships in a globalized environment. ICD has also given me more confidence in creating a more inclusive and empathetic workplace.
Looking forward to putting these skills to work!

A Few Testimonials
“Julia has been one of the most amazing people to work with and manage in my career. Her level of professionalism with partners and teammates is beyond what I would have ever expected with her six years of working experience. She has been their #1 trusted advisor for online pipeline/job posting consultation. I received countless compliments around her problem solving skills, genuine care and advocacy for providing great candidate experience, and being a leader within our team who has trained, educated and supported her teammates in all her time at Google” - Team Lead & Manager, Google Cloud
“Julia has been a phenomenal asset to the Google Cloud Staffing Team. I have gotten the opportunity to work closely with her on a number of hiring projects and initiatives that involve consistent collaboration between other staffing counterparts as well as Hiring managers from the business. She is more than our pipeline expert, she is our trusted advisor and someone we can lean on to help drive insights on how we can hire more effectively. Julia truly stands out in ways that derive positive change and action with hiring. Her thoughtful, professional and tactful approach are just a few of the many characteristics that I admire” - Internal Staffing Partner, Google Cloud
“Julia and I have met regularly to go over external job posting processes and best practices. During our meetings, Julia clearly articulates gaps in existing processes and helps me identify and test different solutions. Most recently, Julia helped me understand a process that makes tracking location changes to external job postings easier for both of our teams. Thank you, Julia!” - External Partner, Google
