First Girl

young adults as an experiential educator, both across the United States and in India. After spearheading an initiative to assist at-risk youth in becoming trained for green jobs, Julie threw herself into writing stories for young adults that do justice to their intelligence and complex emotional lives. She is the author of Harmony Ink Press title Being Roy, and credits her Catholic upbringing, fascination with religion and spirituality of all stripes, and her environmental education degree for the inspiration to write First Girl.

Julie continues to seek out unique life experiences to provide grist for the mill of her imagination, including her work as a medical actress at a simulation laboratory. There she indulged her love of the dramatic arts and her passion for health and education while amassing enough writing material to sink a barge.
