Julie grew up in Stratford, Ontario, Canada, and moved to the United States after undergrad. She spent the last 25+ years in Ann Arbor, Michigan, practicing law and raising four children, alongside her husband, Dan. While spending the pandemic working remotely from their vacation home in La Quinta, Julie and Dan fell in love with hiking in and around the Coachella Valley and JTNP (and with the constant sunshine), and decided to retire and make La Quinta their permanent home. Julie is an avid hiker, tennis player, and CrossFitter, and a community volunteer and instructor. She is a published novelist and is always on the lookout for ideas for her next book or screenplay.
