Julia Bentley

As Maine Policy Institute’s newest policy intern, Julia Bentley is excited to research and write about policies that promote freedom and personal responsibility. Julia graduated from John Brown University in 2018, interned with the Heritage Foundation in 2018, and was a fellow at the John Jay Institute in 2019. Her primary policy interests are health, welfare, and education reform, and she is hoping to learn more about how these policy areas are addressed at the state level during her time at Maine Policy Institute.
