In Napa, she continued her love of blues and jazz, performing in clubs all over Northern California.
In 1983, she made her stage debut as Mary Magdalene in the Mondavi Concert Series production of Jesus Christ Superstar. Other musicals followed, along with straight stage plays, including the critically acclaimed and sold-out production of A Late Snow at Theatre Rhinoceros in San Francisco.

Making the move to New York in 1990, Julie appeared in A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum starring George Wendt. That show led to her audition for Tommy Tune's Tony award winning Grand Hotel on Broadway, where she took over the lead role of Rafaella Ottanio.
Starring opposite legendary Cyd Charisse, among others, Julie played the role for 17 months, continuing to work in national commercials and television at the same time.
She returned home to California in 1992, and immediately landed a pilot for Stephen J. Cannell and went on to guest star in shows such as Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Raven, Dream On, Star Trek: The Next Generation and many others.
It was a phone call at home from casting director, Mary Jo Slater, that led to her being offered the series regular role of Na'Toth, on Babylon 5.
