She holds a master's degree in Intercultural Relations from Lesley University. She is also the author of the book, U.S. Immigration Laws Under the Threat of Terrorism.

"""An alarming and thoroughly captivating explanation of how and why the January 6, 2001, breach of the U.S. Capitol materialized. As Assistant Director of Intelligence for the U.S. Capitol Police on that fateful day, Julie Farnam has performed an important public service with her first-hand account of what is at stake when strategic warning, the process of alerting senior leaders to the emergence of real and serious threats requiring a decision, are not made and acted upon in time. Domestic Darkness is a book that belongs in the library of serious homeland security practitioners.""--William J. Walker, former Sergeant at Arms, U.S. House of Representatives, head of the DC National Guard on January 6, 2021 ""Farnam produces more than just a postmortem on the failings of Capitol Police. She lays out a digestible guide of the groups on the front lines of domestic terror, digging into how vulnerable people get drawn to destructive ideologies and how white supremacy is fueling a movement that federal law enforcement calls the leading threat to the homeland.""--from the introduction by Robin Peguero author, With Prejudice and One in the Chamber, investigative counsel on the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the U.S. Capitol ""A stunning insider account of how the Capitol Police failed to heed warnings about the insurrection and how federal agencies remain ill-prepared to defend against far-right political violence.""--Trevor Aaronson, author, The Terror Factory: Inside the FBI's Manufactured War on Terrorism"
