Juliana is a third-year student at the University of Chicago studying Public Policy and History, Philosophy, and Social Studies of Science and Medicine (HIPS). Through conversations with her mother, a registered nurse, she found her passion in health policy focused on improving healthcare systems to be more equitable and accessible, especially in minority-populated areas. With this passion, she is focused on improving maternal health, creating more community-based interventions, and improving equity and accessibility in hospital care and treatment for minorities. Juliana has previously worked in city government, aiming to develop more progressive legislation for the greater Chicago area, and worked on Capitol Hill, helping many Democratic members of Congress with their campaign efforts. She is super excited to be a Student Fellow with ACE to help voters learn about Public Health policy that affects the day-to-day lives of people everywhere. Outside of work and academics, Juliana loves the NYT crossword, listening to music, and trying new restaurants around Chicago.
