About Julia

Instagram

Julia is an actuary at an insurance company in Boston, MA. During her 9-5 job, she deals with numbers, but after work she unwinds with a book. She’s been an avid reader since grade school and reads more than 200 books a year. When she’s not reading, you can find her obsessively stalking Taylor Swift online or passionately cheering on Boston sports teams.
