Julia has traversed the vibrant oceans of islands in the Pacific, diving & researching conservation and environmental justice with communities across Australia, the Solomon Islands, & the Tasman Sea. She worked as a California State Parks Ocean Lifeguard & Junior Lifeguards Instructor for 7 years, loves surfing, & is passionate about ocean safety & connecting others to the sea. Her freediving journey began in the murky, cold kelp forests off of California's rugged central coast, & later bloomed during her college education in Environmental Studies at U.C. Santa Barbara, the University of Queensland in Australia, and Solomon Islands National University. Pursuing freediving alongside an environmental science education showed her its powerful ability to connect people to the ocean & themselves & instill positive change ~ a discovery that later deepened, as freediving helped her heal from trauma & PTSD. Julia?s love for the ocean has shaped her curiosity about the world, & ocean safety alongside environmental education is her life?s passion. Julia is a certified high school teacher in the state of Hawai?i, where she started the first youth freediving program at a public secondary school. She loves to help others find confidence, growth, & joy in the ocean, & as an F.I.I. instructor, it?s her dream to share the life-defining wonder that a connection to the ocean offers us all. Julia teaches freediving classes on weekends & school breaks in Kona, Hawaii. She one day hopes to create an accessible freediving experience specifically for survivors of domestic violence on the Big Island of Hawai'i. Contact her directly for courses, training sessions, coaching, & private courses! :) Instagram: @jules_of_the_sea
