Julia is an almost-Tampa native (detour by birth in Cleveland). Julia graduated from Hillsborough High School, going on to major in Political Science at Wellesley College and earned her J.D. at the University of Florida – Levin College of Law. It has been exciting to witness the change and development in Tampa since its “sleepier” days in the 80’s and 90’s.
