She will be on stage in the spring (to be announced…) and is auditioning for film, theatre, and voice-over work in Chicago, New York, and Kansas City.

I’m Julie; an actress and vocalist with 15+ years in the industry. I specialize in film, commercials, musical theatre, and voice-over.
I also pursue writing, dance, playing instruments poorly, and coaching whole-health nutrition and fitness.
I love collaboration, movement, routine, travel, progress, and growth.
Creativity is the natural order of the universe, and I believe it is a divine gift to share that with others. I hope we connect soon!
