While at UCLA, she served as Chief Articles Editor of the Women’s Law Journal, Articles Editor for the Journal of International Law and Foreign Affairs, and earned membership in the Moot Court Honors Society and Order of the Barristers.

Julia represents clients in high-stakes commercial litigation and advises on regulatory matters before the U.S. Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
