Swimming career
Julia made her debut at the 2025 SEA Games aged 14. Despite finishing fourth at the women's 200m backstroke event, Julia broke the national record with a time of 2:16.51. This meant that Julia broke Tao Li's record since 2009.[1] Due to a shoulder injury sustained by Levenia Sim during the warmup, Julia was named in the backstroke leg of the women's 4x100m medley relay team just 20 minutes before the final. The team managed to clinch the gold medal.[2][3]
