Julie Zuckerberg is a senior recruiting and talent acquisition manager with more than 15+ years of professional experience. Whether it’s finding top-tier talent, developing and negotiating job offers, or managing a team of recruiters, Julie approaches every professional challenge with passion and dedication. She’s lived in Manhattan for over 20 years and is an avid runner, home chef, gardener, and photography enthusiast.

Julie is a member of New York Road Runners and has run the New York City Marathon twice and countless smaller runs around the 5 boroughs. For Julie, running is more than just a hobby—it’s an outlet that helps her set and achieve personal goals, stay in shape, and sharpen her mental focus. She enjoys staying up-to-date with the latest innovations in fitness gear, such as wearable tech.

Julie Zuckerberg wants to help motivate others to achieve their fitness goals through her fitness blog. She recognizes that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to wellness and aspires to help her readers create personalized fitness routines that work for them. Julie is a big advocate of setting achievable goals through interval training, and believes that healthy eating is the cornerstone to a healthy lifestyle.

Julie loves to explore the culinary diversity of New York City—everything from well-known restaurants to hidden mom-and-pop shops—but she also loves creating delicious dishes of her own. She enjoys cooking of fish, pasta, and soups, and has recently begun dabbling with baking.

Julie tries to use fresh, healthy, and locally sourced ingredients whenever possible. Often this includes making purchases from local vendors in open-air markets and urban gardens—which she believes are some of New York City’s greatest assets. She also likes to grow some of these fresh ingredients herself. Despite living in one of the most compact and crowded cities in the world, she has carried on a version of her family tradition by growing her own fruits, vegetables, and herbs. She transformed her terrace into an outdoor garden, complete with edibles, plants, and flowers.

Julie Zuckerberg finds photography inspiration in her home garden, but she also enjoys capturing slice-of-life moments around the city. There’s beauty in unexpected places, and Julie takes every opportunity to preserve a moment and a memory wherever she travels, whether it’s a local attraction, a city skyline, or a beautiful sunset.

Julie maintains a rewarding balance between her career, her personal fitness, and her hobbies.
