Biography

Julia comes to Champlain with an undergraduate degree in Psychology and a minor in music as well as a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Julia spent six years working in community mental health organizations such as Lund, NFI, Pathways, Spectrum, and HOPEworks. She also has three years experience working in the local live music scene and volunteers with GrooveSafe, a non-profit that educates concert-goers about consent and bystander intervention at shows.

She brings an intersectional feminist framework to Champlain’s Women’s & Gender Center which recognizes how multiple forms of discrimination can overlap and affect people’s lives. She aims to connect students to the local community, in particular the music, art, and activism scenes.

Outside of work, Julia loves knitting, skiing, camping, canoeing, yoga, and live music. Her pride and joy is Bunker, her snuggly Basset Hound mix. Julia hopes to combine her passion for intersectional feminism and activism with her creative and outdoorsy hobbies to help students ignite their passions and hobbies.
