Julia joined the WAVE Beach Staff in 2026!

After playing 5 years collegiately at The University of Tampa, Julia stayed as the AC for one year. During her time at UT, her team won 4 AVCA Small College Championships, and she had the honor of being named AVCA Pair of the Week and All-American twice her my career as a blocker.

Having worked with and played for many different brilliant minds that hail from different backgrounds and cultures has been very constructive in her own coaching formation. She sees the beach game has a perfect parallel to life: There are ups and downs to navigate, elements we can't control, side switches that can give us advantages/disadvantages, and no substitutes to take your place. Julia is eager to keep learning and to impart her own experience on the future of the game.

Fun Facts: 2 of her sisters currently play Beach at UT, and she has been backpacking in 6 countries.
