Julie completed her Master's Degree in Physician Assistant Studies (MPAS) with a focus in Dermatology at the University of Nebraska in April 2004, after receiving a scholarship to do so from the Society of Dermatology Physician Assistants (SDPA). This award was granted, in part, based on her activities promoting the SDPA.

Prior to becoming a Physician Assistant, Julie worked in dermatology nursing for 2 1/2 years, and with the American Red Cross for 2 years. She also holds a degree in business administration.

Julie currently works full-time in the McKinney location, but has been a provider in the Allen & Greenville locations for Dr. Barrows in the past. She has served as a preceptor for UTSW physician assistant students, and as a speaker for the SDPA.
