She is an attorney in our Appellate group, where she employs her research and writing skills to draft motions, assist with appeals, and consult on litigation issues. She works with attorneys in practice groups throughout the firm, particularly in the areas of commercial litigation, products liability, construction, and insurance coverage. Prior to joining the firm, Julia clerked for the Honorable Terri J. Stoneburner at the Minnesota Court of Appeals from 2011 to 2013.
Julia received her B.A. in political science from Grinnell College in 2005.

Outside the office, Julia enjoys all types of travel, from backpacking in Southeast Asia to Hawaiian-island hopping to driving to her family’s vacation home in Colorado. She also likes cooking (especially Chinese food), riding her bike, swimming, and watching cult TV shows.
