Julie DeWees Sparks retired from British Petroleum in 2016 after a distinguished career in the energy industry in Houston.
A proud alumna of Louisiana State University with a B.S. in International Finance and the University of Houston with an M.B.A. in Economics, Julie’s academic achievements laid the foundation for her impressive career.
Since 2018, Julie has brought her passion for history to life as a docent at the Bayou Bend Collection and Gardens, part of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. Her commitment to preserving and promoting Texas heritage extends further—she serves on the Advisory Board of The Texas Center at Schreiner University in Kerrville, helping advance its mission to foster appreciation for the Lone Star State’s history and culture. From 2018 to 2021, she also served as a board member of the Texas Historical Foundation.
She lives in Houston.
