After graduating from Georgetown in 2004 with a degree in political science, Julia moved to New York with the highly original idea of "becoming a writer." She was rejected from a job at Bath & Body Works. Seriously. Shortly thereafter, she convinced an editor at the Manhattan newspaper AM New York to begin running her weekly columns, which she wrote until Spring 2007. Along the way, Julia has been published in Cosmopolitan, Maxim, New York magazine, The Huffington Post, Page Six magazine, Marie Claire UK, Teen Vogue, Seventeen, Capitol File, and Men's Health and had a monthly column in COED magazine for two years, which appeared on Yahoo.com's homepage weekly during 2007. She is currently a weekly columnist in Time Out New York and co-founder of nonsociety.com. She is, personally and professionally, a handful.
