Survivor: Redemption Island
With her muscular physique, Julie was seen as the most physically able female of the Zapatera tribe. With her, plus having five of their nine members being male (as opposed to the rival Ometepe tribe, which had more females), Zapatera flourished early, winning the first two Immunity Challenges.

But despite this, Zapatera was divided into two competing alliances: one consisted of Julie, Mike Chiesl, Steve Wright, Ralph Kiser, David Murphy and Sarita White; while the other was comprised of notorious Survivor villain Russell Hantz, Stephanie Valencia and Krista Klumpp. The six-person alliance felt that Hantz' presence was toxic, and he must be disposed immediately. With this, five of the sextet conspired to throw away the next Immunity Challenge so they would get the chance to eliminate Russell. When Julie was approached about the plan, Julie was unsure. Julie, a woman who believed in karma, felt that the move will hurt them in the long run. But at the Immunity Challenge, she decided to go through the plan anyway, deliberately sending her tribe to their first Tribal Council.

Assuming that there was a Hidden Immunity Idol at their camp, the six-person pact decided to split their votes, in the event that Russell did possess an idol (unknown to them, alliance partner Ralph already found it).That afternoon, Russell went to Julie to flip her vote and join his alliance (with Russell promising to keep her longer in the game), speculating that the majority alliance threw the challenge just to get rid of him. But at Tribal Council, Julie did not budge, and the vote would go as planned, with a three-way tie between Russell, Ralph and Stephanie. With five of the six-person alliance eligible for the revote (with Julie included), Russell was voted out, sending him to Redemption Island, and was eventually defeated by its current inhabitant, Matt Elrod at the duel.

After winning one more Immunity Challenge, Zapatera would suffer a series of challenge losses, with Julie and the rest of the alliance disposing the remaining members of Russell's alliance. After losing their third consecutive Immunity Challenge, the once-strong aliance had to turn on each other. And with no common enemy, the alliance was torn between Sarita who was weak in challenges, but was nonetheless loyal to the alliance, and David, who was perceived to be better at challenges, but was deemed arrogant and untrustworthy. In the end, Julie joined Steve, Mike and David in voting Sarita out.

In the final pre merge duel of the game, Julie said a lot of words of encouragement to Sarita in hopes that Sarita would win the duel, but Sarita would be eliminated upon losing the duel to Matt, which worried her and the other Zapatera members since theyw ould be merging with 5 players from Zapatera and 7 from Ometepe. Julie along with the rest of Zapatera decided to voting off Grant, who they viewed as a bring threat and Rob's closest ally and they were hoping that Mike's attempts to get Matt and Andrea to flip would have suffices. But unfortunately, they didn't and Matt was voted off 6-5-1, which drew a line between Ometepe and Zapatera.

Mike and David would be the first ones voted off of the former Zapateras. Julie later hid Phillip's shorts to make Phillip mad as a chance to hopefully get 2 or more Ometepes to vote off Phillip. But it would not work and when Julie confessed what she did at tribal council, that would likely have sealed her fate in getting her voted off 6-3.

Julie would join Matt and Mike on Redemption Island. In the duel that followed, Julie would eventually lose to Matt and Mike, finishing the game in 11th place and become the 2nd member of the jury. At the Final Tribal Council, Julie criticized how Natalie was very close to Rob to a somewhat uncomfortable point and in the end voted for Boston Rob to win.
