Julie Neustadter is an elementary school teacher who always focused on bringing mindfulness into her classroom. Before she started writing for kids, she got undergraduate and graduate degrees in History and Education from the University of Pennsylvania. And, just to shake things up, she went to law school at the University of Miami to promote social justice. You can usually find her surfing, running, or doing yoga to a Springsteen soundtrack in her happy places-the Jersey Shore and Venice, California.
