4:00 AM hit and my alarm was set for 8:00. I opened my eyes right as the clock moved to 4:01 and thought for a bit. Even as my eyes struggled to stay open, I reached over to the end table, grabbed a pen and paper, and started to write down ideas, song lyrics, anything that pops into my mind.

From a young age, I filled every single notebook with stories and read book after book, loving them so much from the creases on almost all of the pages and food stains on the covers. In grade school, I passed my time making magazine covers, paper cell phones, free websites, and filming and editing silly web-show videos.

Flash forward to today, I still keep a notebook on my nightstand, and one with me at all times for when moments of inspiration strike. I find massive value in everyone’s voices and the talents they are meant to share with the world, and love to help give others a voice through speaking/storytelling, content creation, videography, and writing. My passion and mission is collaborating and creating with individuals who share a passion of empowering the world.

Starting my first business, Campus Oils, at the age of 18, graduating from John Carroll University, beginning as the Marketing Project Coordinator at the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium, releasing my first non-fiction book at 21-years-old, and releasing my debut poetry book at 25, taught me that there is so much to learn from both the small and the large experiences, and our voices have the potential to help so many. I have a passion for thought leadership, mental health awareness, student entrepreneurship, writing, and vulnerability.

Take your time looking into the screenshots of my life and let's find a way for you to be in my next one!

Sincerely,

~Julia
