Associate Testimonials Meet Julie

As the parent of a child with a disability, expanding and achieving what’s possible drives me. Through Purina Ability Advocates, I’m able to translate that motivation into action at work.


Being part of Purina Ability Advocates allows me to bring my whole self to work. As a parent, having the support of my company and my coworkers around causes that are meaningful to my family, makes me feel even more strongly about spending my career with Purina.
24 Dimensions of Diversity
The Nestlé Purina Tree of Inclusion is much more than what we see above the surface. We are all a complex mixture of roots and blossoms that represent life experiences and worldviews. It’s in the roots, branches, and leaves where we find commonalities and differences worth exploring. Our talents, skills, and experiences give visible life to the whole tree. Just look up and see all of us.
Each of us plays a part in helping the company meet and exceed our expectations for becoming the most welcoming environment for our associates, contractors, customers, consumers, and guests. So, together we celebrate what we’ve done and challenge ourselves for what’s next.
Welcome to the Continuum.
