Julia is a passionate collaborator who loves working in theatrical spaces. She gravitates towards projects that express a longing for a more liberated world. These projects often explore how systemic power structures shape human connection, how intergenerational memory can spark cross-cultural empathy, and how queerness can serve as a lens for imagining alternative realities.

Julia’s music has been performed by the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, Beth Morrison Projects, the Eighth Blackbird Creative Lab, Sputter Box, USC’s Thornton Edge, Contemporaneous Ensemble, the Rhythm Method, the Lowell Chamber Orchestra, as well as by choreographers and dancers from USC’s Kaufman School of Dance. Julia is the inaugural recipient of the Sarah Gibson Foundation Commission.

Julia holds a fully-funded Masters of Music Composition from USC’s Thornton School of Music. Prior to her musical journey, Julia earned her Bachelor’s Degree from Tufts University in music and premedical studies. Julia is also a violist and often premieres new works throughout Los Angeles.
