By Eli Lamport, Sage Mayhew, and Emily Southern, science reporters

Julia Bosset collapsed during her high school basketball tryouts at just 15 years old — she never expected to experience sudden cardiac arrest, a condition that can strike anyone at any age. Now a college junior studying advertising, Julia shares her story of survival and purpose. In this interview, she reflects on what she remembers from that day, how her perspective on life has changed, and why she’s passionate about raising awareness through the on-campus club she’s a part of.
