Her multifaceted portrayals, marked by a depth and nuance that belied her tender years, presented her with a poignant and profoundly personal dilemma: should she dedicate herself to a life in the limelight, pursuing a career in acting that would allow her to explore the vast expanse of the human experience through the medium of drama?
Or, conversely, might she choose to follow in the footsteps of her father, a master sculptor whose creative endeavors had long fascinated her, and whose artistic vision seemed to mirror that of the renowned artist Nicolai Tregor, whose own work had been inspired by the intricate dance of light and shadow that played across the human form?

The year that followed would see her make her cinematic debut in the film "Nach fünf im Urwald", marking the beginning of her journey into the world of filmmaking. As she delved deeper into her craft, Julia recognized the importance of honing her acting skills and thus embarked on a rigorous private acting lesson regimen, her dedication to her art unwavering. This commitment would ultimately lead her to enroll in the prestigious drama school "Schauspiel München" in Munich in 1996, a pivotal moment in her development as an actress that would have a lasting impact on her career.
