She has co-authored several journal articles on the pedagogy of quantitative methods teaching, based on her current research in this field.  In 2022 her co-authored textbook Exploratory and Descriptive Statistics (2022) was published by SAGE.  Julie currently teaches quantitative data analysis and data management to final year undergraduate students.
