Julia is a rising senior at Lafayette College majoring in International Affairs and Government & Law, and minoring in Spanish. Her studies are accompanied by a thematic concentration in Human Rights & Social Justice, and a regional concentration in Europe. Julia became interested in foreign policy research after experimenting with research during her classes in academic settings, working with research specifically in the Balkan region. Furthermore, Julia studied abroad this past semester in Spain which furthered her interest in the region of Europe. In the future, Julia hopes to pursue a career in a non-governmental organization, specifically working in foreign policy research. She is very excited to work alongside her peers at ACE, and is enthusiastic about the work she will complete this summer.
