Julia was born and raised in Oregon. Going to private school at St. John the Baptist her entire life, she planned on attending La Salle since kindergarten.  Throughout her educational career, English has always been a subject that Julia has admired. Her love for this particular class is what sparked her interest in taking journalism as an elective.  Julia has played soccer since she was five years old and it has created so many opportunities for her as well as long lasting friendships. The sport allows her to be involved within the La Salle community through the girls varsity soccer team while also giving her something to do in her free time when she plays club.  Family is something that Julia highly values. She comes from a larger family with four siblings and a lot of cousins and other relatives.  Outside of the school environment, you can probably find Julia spending time with friends or playing soccer with her sister.  Julia isn’t sure where she will be in the future, but she looks forward to it.
