About Me

I am a creative individual living in Los Angeles. Actor. Writer. Photographer. Music Lover. Volunteering & giving back to my community are also very important to me.
This summer I was fortunate enough to be cast in 2 awesome films: Surfer, Dude starring Matthew McConaughey and Off The Ledge directed by Brooke P. Anderson. Check out the latter's kick ass website at www.offtheledgemovie.com .
Check out www.juliacarpenter.com for photos and acting bits of yours truly!
