You could say some people are born into their professions. Julia has been in dentistry her entire life. She is the daughter of a dental technician and grew up in her dad's lab. He used to put Julia and her sister to work with small tasks like putting case boxes together, then when she started driving she delivered cases to dental offices. A trip to her pediatric dentist's office was always filled with laughs and hugs, as her mother and aunt both worked there. The dental profession has always felt like home to her. When it came time to choose a career, dentistry was a natural choice. Julia went to the University of Southern California for her Bachelor's in Science in Dental Hygiene and then she went on to achieve a Master's in Public Health at the University of Southern California.
In the last thirteen years that Julia has been practicing, she has been exposed to many different avenues in dentistry. She has been in multiple private practices working, not only as a hygienist but also as a treatment, financial, and hygiene coordinator. She has helped manage multiple private practices, hired on new employees, and worked with a nonprofit where she ran multiple clinics and daily operations. Julia is passionate about personal and professional growth. She loves coaching her teams to be their best selves and how that impacts the care their patients receive. She lives in the Bay Area, has a dog named Hattie, and enjoys working out, cooking, going to the beach, and wine tasting.
