Julie is a Senior at Struthers High School, and is currently 18 years old. She is a creative writer for entertainment articles in Journalism I.

Her favorite part of school is being able to make various inspired projects and express her creative talents. She is in advanced art class, as well as the Art Club and other designer classes, such as computer graphics. She has been in the Struthers band program for 4 years, but has played the trombone for 8 years. Outside of school, she reads and paints on her own time, often trying new mediums of art to see what she can create. She plans on taking her love of the arts a step further, hoping to make a career out of it. A more unique hobby she picked was scuba diving with her grandfather. She has dove in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and other more tropical areas. Currently, she has been on 16 dives and has gone down to 70 feet.

Her interest in English in general is what charmed Julie to sign up for Journalism. The class offers the chance to write articles for the school newspaper, with freedom to express opinions or commentate on interesting topics of the author’s own choosing. Journalism provides a real-life experience she can carry with her in the next step into maturity. She is enjoying the class and opportunities it offers to her, and believes that it will only continue to improve throughout the year.
