Hi, I’m Julia! I’m currently in my last semester at Quinnipiac University, studying Health Science with minors in Nutrition and Biology. I’ve always believed that our lifestyle and diet significantly impact our wellbeing, but it wasn’t until the summer before my senior year of high school, when I was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), that I began to explore this connection at a deeper level. This diagnosis ignited my drive to learn more about the importance of diet and lifestyle in managing PCOS and led me to discover Functional Medicine.

Passionate about continually learning how our diet and lifestyle affect us, I began interning with a Naturopathic Doctor. During my internship, I listened in on appointments and wrote case studies, identifying potential root causes and suggesting holistic approaches to treatment. I loved everything about this experience, and it solidified my plan to apply for a Naturopathic Doctorate degree for the fall of 2025!

Outside of work and school, I love learning about coffee and trying new coffee shops, taking Pilates classes, cooking fun recipes I find on social media, and shopping!
