She taught mostly graduate students in courses such as intermediate grammar and writing, advanced writing, advanced listening/speaking, and communication skills for ITAs. As well, she served as the acting director and assistant director of BGSU’s ESL Program.

When she’s not working, Julie enjoys reading, traveling, writing, cooking and hanging out with friends.
