Experience

Julia’s academic background in Political Science and Social Entrepreneurship sparked her interest in advocacy and complex problem-solving, which she continued to develop during law school. Her years of competitive hockey and experience in vocal music have helped shape her strong work ethic and collaborative approach which she aims to bring to her litigation practice.
