Julia Nicole Yock
Julia is 13 years old and lives in a suburb of Illinois with her mom, dad and two older brothers Michael (22) and Jimmy (18). Her father is Irish and her mother is first generation Greek-American. Julia loves animals and has several pets including two dogs, Mila and Lola, two turtles and her pet snake Billy.
Julia’s biggest passion is dance. She’s been dancing since she was three years old and dances competitively at Konquer Dance Company in Orland Park, IL. There, she takes ballet, acro, contemporary, jazz and hip-hop. Julia’s passion for dance has led her to start a service-based nonprofit organization called Dance with Ambition: For Mind, Body & Health. Read more about that HERE.
She has been and is still involved in many competitive sports, including basketball, volleyball, competitive gymnastics and competitive Varsity cheerleading, winning the state title every year she has participated. She also finds time to model, play the trombone, sing in choir, and recently started taking guitar lessons, all while consistently maintaining academic Honor Roll status at school.
Some of Julia’s favorite hobbies and interests are drawing, baking, hanging out with her friends at the park or the mall, making Tik Toks and watching makeup tutorials, and playing mini golf. She loves family time at home, playing board games, going to movies, escape rooms and big weekly dinners with her extended family.
