Julia moved to Tallahassee in early 2021 and loves calling the capital city her new home. She relocated here from South Florida where she completed her Masters Degree in Nursing and is licensed as a Board-Certified Family Nurse Practitioner. Prior to this she worked for 15 years as a Registered Nurse and spent most of her time in the emergency department as was a dedicated stroke nurse. Julia works with both neurology and pain management patients at our practice. Julia’s interest in medicine and neuroscience was sparked by a personal experience from her childhood. When she was only 16 years old her father suffered a massive stroke and this paved her journey. She committed herself to a calling to provide the best quality care for her patients while always being aware of their need for compassion in their suffering. Outside of work, Julia loves spending quality time with her husband and two daughters. She also has a passion for nurturing future medical professionals and works as an adjunct faculty in the nursing department at Tallahassee Community College.
