She has worked as a segment producer for E!

Supplying short documentary subjects for the French Canal Plus affiliate show Hollywood 26 from 1992 until the show’s end in 2001, Juli has also worked as an interviewer/writer/producer for the French networks TF1, M6, and MBC, the Middle East Broadcasting Center. Currently she and her husband make short documentaries for the French magazine-style morning show Télématin that airs daily on France 2. At USC, Juli primarily teaches CTPR 290, Introduction to Filmmaking. Every semester proves to be another joyful process as, time and again, she watches students discover their talents and then project them on the big screen for the first time.  It just doesn’t get any better than that!
