About the Regional Team
Julie
Regional Gifted Youth Coordinator
Julie Warriner is a data strategist with a creative streak who lives in Palm Beach County. As the parent of a lifetime Mensa member and Mensa Honor Society student preparing for college, she understands both the opportunities and pressures gifted students and families navigate over time.
Julie serves as the Regional Gifted Youth Coordinator for Mensa Region 10 and the Gifted Youth Coordinator for Palm Beach Area Mensa, where she has led the revitalization of the local youth program since 2024. Her work focuses on strengthening local programs, expanding access for families, and creating thoughtful, scalable opportunities—both in person and virtual—that help gifted youth connect and thrive. She also serves as a Member-at-Large on the Palm Beach Area Mensa Executive Committee.
Professionally, Julie brings a background in data strategy, television, and film, blending structure with creativity in everything she does. Outside of Mensa, she loves art, crafting, reading, and can usually be found cheering on the Florida Panthers. (Go Cats!) 💙❤️
