From Pitt News article: 

“Julia is such a bright light and a ball of energy. It is so fun to watch her play on stage, and you know, being in this industry for a while you forget how to play, and [Julia] just goes for it and it’s so much fun to watch. She has so much energy and it’s very infectious.”

​

“I catch myself glancing at her throughout the play and she just has this face that is grinning,” Velasquez said. “You know that she is constantly thinking or listening to the play and having these responses, these very genuine real responses to the play, but as her character. She’s done all of her work. It’s so much fun to watch.”
