Humans of Northwood: Julianne Brochu ‘25

“In the future, I want to pursue skiing and hopefully go to a good college where I can also pursue my academic career. And I could link those two together, go to a day one ski team and, yeah, just pursue academics, I guess, and after that, live life wherever the wind brings me

“I really, really love, like, folk, like R and B kind of music, like soft bags. And I really, really like the Lumineers, and my favorite song is Stubborn Love by the Lumineers. But on race days, I go with Tupac.

“My favorite part about Northwood is probably the schedule and how teachers are so accommodating to us traveling. So that’s definitely a plus, having them care so much about our academics and when we’re on trips and stuff.

“If people were to describe me in three words, I think they’d go with bubbly, persevering, and a foodie.

“When I was little, pre-COVID, I was 11/12, ish, I used to go to summer camp for a month, and it was in Maine, and that’s where I learned English, mostly, and other things. And I went there for three years and it was really fun. And that’s my favorite memory, just like the whole camp. It was no phones. But that’s like, back when, like, I didn’t have a phone yet, so it didn’t even matter. That’s where I learned to do kind of everything. We would have a bunch of activities. I would rock climb and water ski, so I learned a bunch of cool activities to do. It was nice. I also met a lot of good friends there that I still am connected to.”
