Undergraduate: Indiana University
Medical School: Indiana University School of Medicine (GHHS)

Julia was born and raised in a small town in Northern Indiana. She attended Indiana University in Bloomington where she majored in Human Biology and completed a Certificate in Social Research in Health and Medicine. During undergrad she grew her passion for medicine and pediatrics through her involvement in IU Dance Marathon, which supported a children’s hospital. Julia attended Indiana University School of Medicine and chose the South Bend campus to be close to home and work with a more rural, underserved population. At IUSOM, she was involved with the Medical Student Council, served as a class representative, and was involved in a COVID-19 Isolation and Quarantine Center. Julia was selected to Gold Humanism Honor Society during medical school. Brown was the perfect choice for residency because of the support for advocacy, diverse patient population, and excellent training. She is still deciding what avenue to pursue in pediatrics but hopes to blend advocacy into her career. Outside of medicine, Julie loves spending time with her two dogs, hiking, and being by the water, so she is excited to move to Rhode Island.
