Julia, whose maiden name is Pacheco, has a fascinating family background. She is a 10th generation New Mexican, with roots in this part of the world since the early 1700s, when her ancestors came here from Spain. Julia comes from a family of 12, many of whom have gone on to successful careers as physicians or nurses.Other siblings have entered academic careers, with one rising to be a university president and another becoming a college president. After raising 12 children, her mother still had the energy to go to college, getting a bachelor's degree at the age of 59.

Julia was valedictorian of her high school class in Maxwell, New Mexico. She served in the Peace Corps in Bolivia for two years, and has done volunteer medical work for the needy here in New Mexico. She is fluent in Spanish.

Julia's family was selected as Southwest Hispanic Family of the Year in 1992. The entire family traveled to Washington, DC, for an award ceremony and reception with First Lady Barbara Bush at the White House.

Julia is married with 3 children and 2 grandchildren. In her spare time she enjoys reading, listening to music, and doing volunteer work for Mothers Against Drunk Drivers (MADD).
