About Julia

Born in Brazil and raised in North Carolina, I am especially passionate for stories about change and new beginnings. My roots as a Brazilian-American woman have made me who I am, and with photography, I want to help others identify with their origins in an effort to shape their future. My goal is to make people feel heard and to truly understand the complexity of their stories, something the world desperately needs but often goes without.

I am an alumna of Ohio University, graduating Magna Cum Laude with a B.S. in Visual Communications, majoring in photojournalism. After graduating, I moved back to North Carolina and am currently working for Guilford Technical Community College as a Creative Content Specialist.

With a background in photography and design, I have thrived after my career switch to marketing. I have experience managing social media platforms, content creation, graphic design, and the creation and implementation of internal and external communications plans.

In my free time, I enjoy reading whatever BookTok recommends for me, playing my ukulele, and snuggling up with my cats!

Currently based in Greensboro, North Carolina. Willing to relocate for work.
