Her clients can be seen on HBO, NBC, ABC, CBS, Disney, Nickelodeon, Netflix, Hulu, Broadway (to name a few). After getting her BAs in History and Theatre Arts, Julia moved to Atlanta to be an acting apprentice at Horizon Theatre…it was there she first discovered her love for improv comedy. She’s performed improv and sketch comedy professionally for the last 9 years, performing at prestigious stages such as Alliance Theatre, the Magnet Theatre NYC, Village Theatre, Dad’s Garage, Relapse Theatre, Highwire, and The Basement Theatre. During the pandemic, she and her partner opened up their own Acting + Production studio called Imagination Emissary. As CEO, Julia implemented all curriculums for workshops, classes, experiences - working with the industry's top professionals. She also wrote / produced 3 original short films and was executive producer on a feature.

    Sadly Julia and her partner closed their studio in March due to flooding. While a stressful event, Julia is very excited to move onto new horizons and begin her journey exploring new opportunities. She is thrilled to join the PiHi Alliance team and looks forward to collaborating with the Piedmont Heights community.
