Julie's love affair with film began when she first saw Star Wars. It
was then when she knew she would work in film and had a desire to be a
special effects artist. Later, in the 2nd grade, she wrote and produced
her first theatre show...the audience was her parents, the venue was
their living room. She also took tap, jazz and ballet and loved being a
ham.
Her parents, noticing Julie's desire to produce and perform, enrolled
her in the School of Creative and Performing Arts located in San Diego.
There she continued studying dance, excelled in art, photography and
theatre. Outside of high school she worked as a model and was signed
with San Diego's top agency. After graduation from high school she
attempted college while working in San Diego's prominate theatres.
Later she moved to Los Angeles. Luck being on her side, she found work
