BIOGRAPHY:
Julia began dancing and singing as a toddler and has never stopped. As a teenager, she had the opportunity to train at Deeply Rooted Dance Theater and the Joffrey Ballet in Chicago, and at The Ailey School in New York. She also received an Honors Superior Rating at the Chicago Public Schools Vocal Solo/Ensemble Festival in 2017 and was selected for ILMEA All-State Chorus in 2020. Julia always wanted to be in a musical, and got her chance when her classmate at Agnes Scott College asked her to premiere the character of Sasha in Four's a Party. While in college, Julia continues to train in dance, voice, and acting, and hopes to hit the stage again upon receiving her degree in the spring of 2025.
