Greetings, and welcome to the online space I have been curating! Across these pages, you will find poetry, editorial pieces, and other essays I have written, film photos I wish to share, as well as historical documents or other resources I feel it is important to gather in one place. I hope you encounter something that resonates with you. Thank you for spending time here.
I, Julia (she/her), 27, was born and raised in San Pedro, CA. I enjoy exploring the world through text, cuisine, conversation, on foot, atop a mat, with my hands in the soil, and more recently, behind the lens of a camera. This blog (of sorts) is my commitment to another deep and evolving love for the written word.

My formal education includes a B.A. in Political Economy from UC Berkeley and an M.A. in Global Environmental Policy from American University. Though I have met many of my greatest teachers―camp counselors, farmers, poets, community organizers, activists, spiritual leaders, and broadly, people of great courage―beyond the walls of a classroom. It is only through their invaluable gift of mentorship, that I have discovered my own will to speak from and of the heart.
Welcome
