Experience
Julia has been writing for the internet for over ten years. While a student at Columbia University, she was a contributing writer and staff member for Double Exposure, the school's undergraduate film journal. Her writing has appeared in a number of publications, including IndieWire and Slant Magazine, and she toiled in the blog mines for sites like Ad Hoc and Impose Magazine. Julia's various writing and editing jobs have meant that she has, for better or for worse, spent an outsize amount of time considering misbegotten fan fiction and Timmy Chalamet's oeuvre. She joined the Looper team in early 2022.
