Sipos, Julie Ann: - Julie Ann Sipos is the razor-sharp "mom voice" behind empowering on-screen adventures for Disney/Pixar, Universal, and American Girl. Known for witty female main characters and smart social satire, her work has been recognized with the Humanitas Prize, the NAACP Image Award, and the Parent's Choice Award. She earned her MFA in Screenwriting at UCLA, still delivers a mean Bruin 8-Clap, and spends off-time among family restoring a classic pick-up truck and hundred-year-old home. A professor of Cinema & Television at Cal State Northridge, she's published a new cookbook, travel pictorial, and online lifestyle catalogue to accompany her Spring 2025 literary debut, "Horrible Women, Wonderful Girls: A Jaycee Grayson Novel."
