Julie Carver

Julie grew up in Chicago as the granddaughter of immigrants. With few resources, her family often relied on community support and the kindness she experienced kindled an enduring commitment to give back, which she has instilled in her sons. She has a degree in biochemistry and worked as a pharmaceutical researcher. After becoming a teacher and an AP physics instructor, she hopes to inspire her students to be passionate about science. Per her strong commitment to education, Julie recently completed her master’s in education and teaching science. At the urban magnet school where she teaches, Julie aims to foster a strong community that supports and bolsters achievement and self-confidence. She is passionate about bringing accessible and inclusive internship opportunities to intercity students. As a Scholar she is grateful to be part of sponsoring community development through inspiring and supporting student leaders.
