JULIE HARSHBARGER

Webmaster and Media Specialist

Chicago, IL

We are super excited to have Julie as our NKR webmaster and media specialist. Julie has already made great improvements to our website and social media platforms.

Julie Harshbarger is a Chicago-based graphic designer. She currently works for an intellectual property law firm during the day and in her free time works on freelance projects. Julie is also a kicker who holds several kicking records in semi-pro and professional football leagues.
After kicking in high school, she continued to follow her dreams of kicking at the next level. While training during the summer to kick at Rockford University, she was recruited by the Rockton Rush owner to kick for them in between her college seasons. Julie played two seasons of soccer and football at Rockford before transferring to Benedictine University.

After graduating with a B.A. in Fine Arts, she continued to kick for the Rush until the team ended operations in 2017. During the winter seasons Julie kicked for multiple professional indoor Chicago teams from 2010 to 2017. Throughout her career she has earned numerous awards including earning Special Teams Player of the Year in back-to-back seasons in two different professional indoor football leagues (2014 CIFL and 2015 AIF). When the last indoor team she was on ended operations, she tried her luck on a women’s team kicking for the Chicago Force where she earned WFA All-American 1st Team Kicker.
