About this episode
In this episode of Up Close, host Casandra Eames sits down with Julie Saxton, whose story in Ames spans more than three decades. Casandra and Julie talk about how they first met, what originally brought Julie to Ames, and how her path through various roles eventually led her to her current position as the Mental Health Advocate for the Ames Police Department.
They explore the winding route of public service, the quiet impact of long-term community work, and the way Julie’s curiosity, especially for obscure bits of knowledge, has shaped how she approaches her life and career. Julie also shares her pick for the best view in Ames, and why, after all these years, this town still feels like home.
