Julie Mendoza

Family is at the heart of everything I do. My husband and I started our beautiful family in 2005, and together we have four wonderful kids who are my greatest source of strength and motivation.

I grew up in Southern California and moved to Utah toward the end of high school, where I met my husband. I began my career in the insurance industry at just 16 years old with State Farm, later earning my Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Utah in 2006.

As a first-generation American, the values of education, hard work, and creating opportunities to honor the sacrifices of those who came before me are deeply woven into who I am. I quickly realized the power of this industry, not only in protecting what matters most but in educating and empowering others within my community.

Over the years, I've gained extensive experience in both business and insurance, shaping the vision and foundation of our agency today. Becoming a State Farm agent allowed me to build on that foundation, to serve with purpose, lead with integrity, and expand our services to better meet the evolving needs of our community.

While Property & Casualty insurance remains our foundation, we’re excited to broaden our offerings to include retirement products that help you achieve lifelong goals.

Our mission is simple yet powerful: to learn your story, serve with heart, and create tailored approaches that protect you today and for the future.

Outside of work, I love traveling, especially visiting our family roots in Ecuador and Peru. I find peace in nature, thrill in adventure, and joy in dancing and creating dishes that bring family and friends together.

I’ve also always had a passion for helping youth recognize their potential and the power of education. Throughout my life, I’ve dedicated much of my free time to mentoring and teaching, supporting refugee families, guiding at-risk youth, and serving as a foster parent.

It’s truly a privilege to be a State Farm Agent, and even more so, an honor to walk alongside you on your financial journey.
