Julie LeBoeuf lives in Astorville, a small rural town in Northern Ontario, Canada. Her husband Michel is living with adult onset DM1 and two of their three children are juvenile-onset warriors. Alongside her daughter Alexandra, Julie became an MDF Support Group Facilitator in 2022 with the hope of bringing together Canadian DM families for mutual support. She is now a Co-Facilitator for both the Canadian Support Group and the International French Speakers Support Group.

Julie has worked in the education system for the last 25 years and is presently a special education consultant for her local school district. She is a strong advocate for her children and regularly collaborates with families and professionals to support children with special needs. Julie believes every child has a gift to share with the world; her goal is to create and promote respectful and inclusive environments that allow them to shine!
