Julianna has an amazing ability to juggle a heavy workload while mentoring students and spotting their potential. She really understands how to build community, navigate tricky moments with care, and bring out the best in each platform. What stood out most was how she takes the unique strengths of different disciplines and tells their stories in ways that feel authentic — and performs. Her work showed the world what makes our community special.

What stood out to me most was Julianna’s openness and her “yes, and” mindset. No idea was ever dismissed — instead, she worked with me to shape concepts into thoughtful, high-impact campaigns. As the client in our collaboration, I always felt that my goals and feedback were respected and understood. Julianna is the kind of colleague who elevates everyone’s work. She’s strategic, thoughtful, and unafraid to try new things — a rare and valuable combination.
