Meet Julia.

Julia first became ordained in the Free Methodist Tradition, however she is soon to be ordained to the transitional diaconate in the Episcopal Dioceses of Massachusetts. She is a West Coast transplant who currently resides in Rhode Island and works at an Episcopal Church in Concord, Massachusetts. 

Julia is a first-generation college graduate with a BA in Religion from Westmont College. In 2018 she graduated from Duke Divinity School. After her growing up years, as soon as she possibly could, she moved from her hometown of Kailua, Hawaii to Santa Barbara, California for her undergraduate studies. Her childhood consisted of multiple moves including residing in Alaska and Oregon.

Owing to a keen personal understanding of Christ’s healing in the midst of pain, Julia leads with an eye toward intersectionality and popular culture.

It has not been an easy road, but she is thankful to be part of a healthy marriage, a vibrant Church tradition, and to share the healing of Christ with others through her writing, preaching, teaching, and beyond. She considers it her life’s purpose to depend on God in our current social context, always finding Jesus’ voice at the intersection of faith and culture.
