Julie has always been the person that fights for the underdog and is their voice in their time of need. Whether in a professional setting or in everyday life, she strives to approach all situations with empathy and compassion, killing people with kindness, and never giving up until she reaches her goal. Her passion for law began when she joined her high school mock trial team, finding a love for advocacy, public speaking, and making the law work for you. Realizing that she could combine her passions for helping others and advocacy, she set herself on a path toward a legal profession, never looking back. In an effort to give back to the activity that sparked her passion, she is currently a coach for UC Irvine’s Mock Trial Team, mentoring students as they discover their own.
