This is Julie (10 years ago)
Julie is a comedic writer/Frasier-enthusiast who often fantasizes about all of the free time she had before spawning two children.
Her work has appeared in McSweeney's, The New Yorker, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, Scary Mommy, HuffPost, Weekly Humorist, Points in Case, Slackjaw and on-stage at the Upright Citizens Brigade.
Julie is also a proud alumna of the juried St. Nell's Humor Writing Residency, where she spent hours writing in a room of her own, googling important things like “how many dead Rockefellers can they fit into a vault?”.
Julie formerly worked in college admissions, and is writing a TV comedy based on the shenanigans witnessed and experienced in that profession. (Including that one time an applicant chucked his resume at her through a fast-closing elevator door in Beijing.)
And since it’s impossible to afford even the most boring of NYC suburbs on a freelance writer’s pay, Julie also founded (and is extremely passionate about) Global Girls Prep, an organization dedicated to helping young women from around the world access higher education.
(Sure, this picture doesn’t exactly scream “gender equity in education!”, but it does convey a desire to see Barbie break the corrugated cardboard box ceiling. That counts for something, right?)
