Julia S. Passini, Ph.D.
Writer. Artist. Researcher.
ABOUT
My name is Julia S. Passini. I got my Ph.D in developmental psychology in 2023 from North Carolina State University. My research specializes in identity formation in emerging adulthood (ages 18-29) and the knowledge I've gained fuels my person-centered approach to writing.
My writing has been featured in several magazines including The Fantastic Other, ZEAL, and The Charles Carter.
My research has been published in academic journals such as Entropy, and Emerging Adulthood.
I am currently querying for my first novel, Living Through the Epilogue.
When I'm not writing or analyzing data, I can be found at my local park playing Pokemon Go and drinking Dunkin coffee with my husband.
