Meet Dr. Julie Schlegel
Julie was raised in San Angelo, Texas, and now lives in Houston. She has a B.A. degree in English from Baylor University and an M.D. from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School at Dallas. She completed a residency in pediatrics at Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston in 2005.
Somewhere along the way, she also became a wife and mother of three. In the early years of parenthood, the desire to write was only burning embers, smothered by the daily grind of working, raising the children, and trying to stay sane.
Now, as the kids have gotten older, the fire to write is burning once more. The process of writing helps Julie organize her thoughts and make sense of the world. She is fascinated with parenting and hopes by sharing her observations, other parents out there might not feel so alone. There are as many days she is a great parent as a terrible one, but most days, she is an adequate parent to three pretty good kids.
