Learn More about what Julia Does Besides Writing

I have written, recorded, and produced several songs to go on air (radio). I am self-taught in guitar, ukulele, and banjo. I also play the tuba! As a writer, coming up with lyrics is one of my favorite ways to express myself. With my various instruments I can compose melodies to accompany my voice. I have written well over 50 songs, varying in style and content. I am also part of USC's Song Writers Club, where I can teach and learn from my peers, as we support each other's music. I am currently in the works of starting a band.

My friends like to describe me as a bit of a foodie. The concept of flavors, balancing them, and the science behind food has always amazed me. Growing up with a grandma who also happened to be a psychologist of taste, gave me a huge amount of insight into food and how we perceive it. After I learned the basics, I discovered parts of recipes could be change and adapted into whole new creations. Currently, I am developing a food blog on instagram, where I have posted videos, collaborated with restaurants, and explored LA's culinary scene.

As a film student, I have the opportunity to work on student film sets. I have been everything from assistant director, to script supervisor, to even doing hair/makeup. Through these, I have learned how to collaborate with my peers, creating pieces that tell important stories. I have worked with camera equipment, I have developed scripts, and I have found just how important collaboration is to the film industry.
