Hi, I’m Julia!
I’ve always been driven by a passion for creating - the power and potential to make a difference through meaningful stories.
As a proud First-Generation graduate, I’ve learned success comes from challenging the status quo. I’ve channeled this belief into my work, combining strategy with creativity for all things marketing, advertising, and performing.
Welcome to my digital diary, where I share not only my insights from the professional world but also aspects of life I’m passionate about (which really only include fitness, coffee, and music).

- Anna Whalen, Field Marketing Manager at Potbelly Sandwich Works
“I have worked at Julia’s direct report for a number of projects in undergraduate research. In the past two years, I have seen Julia wear many hats: recruiter for student involvement, a champion for her colleagues, and a consummate public relations professional.
Julia has boundless curiosity and relentless pursuit. Julia is able to take a backseat when her colleagues want to shine. and knows when to step up to be the leader when necessary. Julia is fascinated by it all: public relations, marketing, advertising, and much more. Julia's two best qualities are her versatility and willingness to learn. Out of all the undergraduate colleagues I have worked with, I firmly believe that Julia’s ceiling as a professional may be the highest.”

“I have been privileged to teach Julia at North Central College - she is a stellar student. As a quick study who is eager to learn and contribute, she brightens the classroom environment and would certainly do the same for any workplace spanning Public Relations or Marketing.
Julia's creative abilities and strategic mind mean she has a lot to offer on any given project. In my time teaching Julia, I have seen her take a leadership role in group projects that asked her to analyze existing marketing communication, and create and market new products. Her deliverables have been perfectly composed, insightful, and job-ready.”
- Dr. Carly Drake, Assistant Professor of Marketing at North Central College
“In the past year that we have worked together, she has proven herself to be a valuable team member, contributing stellar ideas that helped to increase the quality of deliverables — including campaigns and audits — that a former PR team of ours presented to clients, and she looks at current pop culture in a thought-provoking way that allowed our research team to begin a study this past summer.”
