Julia is a second year MPH student in the Maternal, Child, Adolescent Health program at UC Berkeley. After graduating with her B.A. in Public Health and B.S. in Molecular Environmental Biology from UC Berkeley in 2023, she pursued her MPH due to a deep passion for improving the health of Black and Latinx mothers in the U.S influenced by her own Brazilian-American heritage. Julia has worked on multiple community oriented research projects aimed at improving clinical outcomes and reducing health disparities through patient-centered care. Post completing her MPH in May, she plans to attend medical school to become an OB/GYN and hopes to influence medical training curriculums to be grounded in public health frameworks. Although Julia has enjoyed being a Californian for the past 6 years, she is a native New Yorker and loves when people say she has an accent.
