Julie is a lifelong resident of Hinsdale and a 2010 graduate of DePauw University in Greencastle, IN, where she earned a bachelor's degree in English Writing and Film Studies. DePauw's Winter Term program allowed her to complete two amazing internships: working for the Slamdance Film Festival in 2009 and for WTHI-TV in Terre Haute, IN, in 2010. As a production intern at WTHI, she learned how to write, edit and think on her feet. Hinsdale is her hometown, and she is enjoying the opportunity to explore the community in a new way.
