I’m an actor, performer and vocalist with just around 20 years of professional experience. I’ve held leading roles in award-winning theatre and film, and have performed in countless projects world-wide.

The ultimate objective of my work as both a coach and a teaching artist is to ensure that each and every one of my students leaves with a well-stocked toolbox of abilities and skills.

What I've accomplished so far is all thanks to the excellent master instructors I've had along the way. Thanks to Alice Spivak, Geoffrey Horne, Robert Ellermann, Larry Arancio, Dana Calvey, Martha Hansen Fertman for their contributions.

The Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute, New York University, OnTheRoad Repertory, and Living Lotus deserve a special mention as well.

“North American Julia Marie Peterson is a foreign highlight in [Bacurau].”
- G Show, 2020

“The role Julia took on in Phoenix Rising was very complex, raw and demanding; it required a complete abandonment of any protections she might carry with her on stage, and she fully surrendered to that role every single night, without exception. It was an extraordinary thing to witness.”
