About Me
Hi! I'm Julian
I want to use the same creativity that fuels my personal passions to give back to the communities I’m a part of. I believe connection is at the heart of strong communities, and I’m committed to doing whatever I can to help bridge the gap between the resources that exist and the people who need them most.
Why I Do This Work
I’ve been involved in advocacy since high school, where I served as president of my school’s Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA). That passion stayed with me as I pursued a degree in marketing in college. Through CUNY’s Spring Forward program, which connects students without prior internship experience to meaningful opportunities, I joined the NYC Commission on Human Rights. It was my first real introduction to using marketing and communications in service of a greater cause, and from that moment, I knew this was the path I wanted to pursue.I was invited back to the Commission for a second term and was later selected for the Colin Powell School’s Mixner LGBTQ+ Equal Rights Fellowship, where I deepened my skills as an advocate, built lasting connections in the field, and was honored with the Urvashi Vaid Award for my commitment to LGBTQ+ advocacy. That experience led me to QTBIPOC Design, where I strengthened my hands-on marketing and content strategy skills in an advocacy-driven setting.None of this would have been possible without the support of programs designed to uplift students like me. That support made all the difference, and now I want to give back in the same way I was provided for, by using my skills to help others access the opportunities they deserve.
