I grew up in Southern California and in a small town in GA. However, I've called Jacksonville, FL home since 2008! My first lead role in a theatre production was at age 11 and I've been an actor ever since. I did theatre up until I moved to Jacksonville when I got into film right away, which is what I've always wanted to do! This isn't a place where there is a whole lot going on (although it is growing), so I find myself on the road quite a bit. My "why" is contribution. I want to impact peoples lives in a positive way and being an actor is the only way or the best way I've ever known how to do it. xo julie ann
