Meet Julia

Dr. Julia Porter is a professor, writer, and speaker. Before working in higher education, she held positions in the non profit sector and as a high school English Teacher in Brooklyn, NY. Julia lives in Indiana with her daughter and husband. When she’s not grading papers, writing, or researching, she’s reading one of the books in her tar pile, knitting, watching reality tv, or driving her daughter around to all of her activities. Julia embarked on this research because as empath, she has seen many people struggling and she wanted the tools to help them. She is hoping that her research with Dr. Johnson will help impact how we improve as a society in how we treat people who are grieving. You can learn more about Julia here.
