A Swedish–speaking Finn, Julin was born on Finland's Independence Day. She grew up in Jakobstad. After moving to Sweden and playing for Umeå IK in 1998 and 1999, Julin accepted a scholarship to University of South Carolina and played varsity soccer from 2000 to 2002. She then returned to Umeå but was Cup-tied for the 2003 UEFA Women's Cup Final because she had played for HJK in their 8–0 defeat to Frankfurt in the quarter-final. Julin featured in both legs of the following year's final and collected a winners' medal.[2]
In 2005, she moved on to Martin Pringle's Kopparbergs/Göteborg FC to ensure first team football ahead of the 2005 European Championships in England. Finland reached the semi-final with Julin starting all four matches. Julin wound down her career in Sweden with spells at AIK and Stattena.
She made her debut for the senior Finland women's national football team in March 1997; against Norway in the Algarve Cup.[3] Julin also played in all four matches Finland hosted at UEFA Women's Euro 2009, including the quarter-final defeat by England.[4] She retired from international football after the tournament.[5]
After the 2010 season Julin retired from playing to become the assistant manager of Jitex BK.[6] She took over as manager of IF Böljan for the 2012 season following two years at Jitex.[7]
