Our Team
Julia May

Operations & Engagement
What do you do at Thompson’s Point?
A little bit of everything. Most of my work is making certain that our guest and neighbor experience here on campus is a great one whether that be swinging down to one of our ever growing lineup of community events, hiking through on the Portland Trails system, or biking down to a State Theatre show.

Chipping away at my house, transplanting gardens, digging in the dirt, starting projects and sometimes finishing them!

A gaggle of rescues. I have a cat, Kona. A terrier, Harriet and a schnauzer, Stevie. Fun fact, Stevie was a 2023 Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland Puppy Bowl Puppy!
