In 2017, Julianne graduated with Honors from University College Roosevelt, a small Liberal Arts & Sciences College in Middelburg, the Netherlands. She majored in Linguistics and Religion and pursued an Educational Minor under the supervision of Remy Rikers and Sofie Loyens. During that Minor, she discovered her true interests: teaching, learning, and learning about learning. She is now enrolled in her first semester as a doctoral student in the Disciplined Reading and Learning Research Laboratory.

In her free time, she enjoys listening to music, watching good movies, and singing in a choir.
