Julia is in charge of the “Media & Entertainment” section of CNBC since 2015, and she has a special focus for the intersection of the technology and the media. Besides, she has also reported a documentary about the future of V for a network called Stay Tunes, the Future of TV.

According to her biography, before joining the CNBC, Julia was working for Fortune magazine where she had been a business writer and a reporter since 2000. She covered many stores from the media companies including the business trends in the retail market. In that time with Fortune Magazine, she was the contributor of “Street Life”, that was a live market wrap-up segment on CNN headlines News.

In the years 2003, 2004 and 2006, she’s been named among the “TJFR 30 under 30” list of most promising business journalists who were under the age of 30. The list was made up by Journalist and Financial Reporting Newsletter.

Julia is an example of how the hard work and the dedication can lead to great results, and what she achieved in her career has been an inspiration for a huge number of people. Julia started practically from scratch, and she has projected her skill and devotion completely to improve in her profession, that brought her into a very successful and established career.
During her career Julia interviewed many important personalities, like CEO of huge enterprises (for example DISNEY’s Chairman & CEO Bob Iger, Pinterest CEO Ben Silbermann, GoPro CEO Nick Woodman, Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson), important managers of the entertainment and media universe (for example the Chief Executive Officer of Discovery Communications David Zaslav, the executive Tom Freston), political figures (for example the Secretary of Defense Ash Carter), and many other celebrities. 

Julia says about her work that “Whether I'm conducting a live on-air interview with a CEO, or sussing out answers from sources on background, I'm constantly asking questions. And I love it. As long as I can remember, I've always been inquisitive, which has won me friends, who've been flattered by my interest, and annoyed others, who found it invasive.
Over the course of my career at CNBC, at Fortune Magazine before that, and even back to the high school newspaper, I've been working to figure out how to ask better questions. Questions for which I’ll get interesting, surprising answers. Answers which teach me something, break news, advance a story, reveal someone's interests, or simply help me get to know someone better.
