Julia fell in love with electrical engineering in freshman year at Iowa State while taking an intro to electrical engineering class, where the three-hour long labs were free range, and the primary objective was to tinker around with electronics and just explore and learn based on what piqued one's curiosity.

Currently, she is a senior in Electrical Engineering with a focus in power systems and semiconductors. This summer she will be a returning intern at MISO on the Regional Reliability Coordination team where she will help maintain a reliable bulk electric system.

In her free time, she loves reading books and going on outdoor adventures. Her email for contact is juliaz@iastate.edu.
