Julie is a stage manager, actor, and theater maker. Born in California and raised in China, she ultimately ended up in NYC to study Theatre at NYU Tisch School of the Arts. She has trained as an actor and stage manager, and strives to bring compassion to all aspects of her work. Julie hopes to tell stories that uplift their fellow queer communities of color. Outside of the arts, she also has a love for cats, cooking, and crosswords.

For Julie, making art is about the joy — and sometimes pain — of human connection. Julie is proud to be an Asian American face in a creative industry, and her varied background across theatre disciplines is part of what drives her compassionate artistry.
