You might recognize her from Disney’s “Sydney to the Max” or you might recognize her from the content she creates on social media. It seems Julia is everywhere these days, yet she is humbled by the work that comes her way. I recently interviewed Julia about her career and got a little insight from this rising star.
You are an actress and a content creator. When did you first start acting? When did you first start creating content?
I started acting when I was five years old, which was really fun, I loved everything about being on set. I started with content creating on Musically when I was eight but content creating became a real passion during covid and lockdown.

Dance has been a strong influence for me, performing under pressure and the process of auditioning helped pave the way for me with acting. Movies like ‘High school Musical,’ and ‘Another Cinderella Story,’ with Selena Gomez helped me visualize my career path.

I try to keep my Instagram content relatable with my feed posts leaning to esthetic and fashion.In regard to choosing scripts, I actually fall in love with so many projects that I read, I feel the scripts end up choosing me.
What advice would you give to new artists?
The best advice I could give someone is to align your goals with what makes you happy. This way your career and goals with be fulfilling. Enjoy the process and never give up. I firmly believe that there is no such thing as a missed opportunity, it’s either for you or it’s not. Your time will come.
