Growth Marketing Specialist, Achievable
Julia Tache joined Achievable in June 2025 as a Growth Marketing Specialist. In this role, she helps shape the company’s web strategy and crafts engaging resources on academic and professional licensing exam preparation, study and learning techniques, and relevant industry insights. She also works on various engagement and outreach efforts.
Her background spans research, communications, and data analysis across nonprofits, legacy media, and the public sector. In 2020, she served as a graduate fellow at the Center for Public Research and Leadership, a leading education policy and evaluation clinic based in New York City. She holds a master’s degree in Quantitative Methods in the Social Sciences from Columbia University.
Passionate about expanding access to high-quality, tech-forward educational tools, Julia is especially drawn to Achievable’s science-backed, accessible exam prep programs for independent learners. At Achievable, she manages the editorial pipeline, producing well-researched content libraries for each exam area, while leveraging SEO best practices and innovative tools to ensure reach and impact. She brings years of experience in online content production, communications management, data visualization, and technical documentation to her role.
Outside of work, Julia enjoys reading, watching movies (and logging them on Letterboxd), pursuing coding projects, and writing data-driven analyses on her Substack. She currently resides in New York City, but will always be a Jersey girl at heart.
