From June 2016-December 2016, Juliana worked for Agilent Technologies writing for their internal newsletter and their public blog.  Her articles for the blog included “Red, White and Be Responsible“, “Agilent Inspires Future Innovators“, “Dough Not Get E. Coli“, “Bye-Bye Antibiotics?“,  “A ‘CRISPR’ Approach to Genetically Engineered Foods” and “A Face Behind the Blog“.

This is the link to the Facebook page for “Media, Literature, and Arts Outreach” or MLAO, of which Juliana was the Founder and RA.  This space is part of a pilot project for themed, non-Greek housing on fraternity row the 2015-2016 school year.  Juliana applied for the program in May 2015MLAO with learning outcomes, program goals, and program initiatives.  Upon acceptance, she created an application for housing, read and selected applications, and matched
roommates/assigned rooms within the building. MLAO is inhabited by 39 students engaged in the visual, written, and performance arts.  It is a Residence Hall and a space meant for events big and small, open to all students, departments, and organizations involved in Media, Literature, and the Arts or seeking to collaborate in some way with Media, Literature, and the Arts.  In 2015-2016, MLAO has helped bring two completely new events to campus: a themed arts gallery (The Peacock Gallery, with the theme of the color blue) and the Student Arts Fair, to take place during parents weekend (where any student artist is able to sell their original work and keep 100% of the profit). Juliana transitioned a new executive board for the 2016-2017 school year as she prepared to graduate. “Like” the page to learn more and stay updated on events!

This is the website of Emory’s student-run literary magazine (The Pulse), of which Juliana was the President/Editor-in-Chief for 2015-2016.  Prior to this, she was Events Coordinator and a genre editor for the published anthology.  Visit this site to learn just what exactly The Pulse is about .

Pulse LogoThis is the Facebook Page for The Pulse.  “Like” their page to learn about their upcoming and past events and to look at photographs from some of the events Juliana has helped organize on campus.  The Pulse has started a movement to showcase the talents of students at Emory by partnering with big and spacious fraternities to host events with student performances (staging everything from rapping to playing instruments to break dancing to spoken word) and student visual art displays (containing everything from paintings to sculptures to photographs to jewelry).  In another new project headed by Juliana, The Pulse partnered with the Emory satire magazine (The Emory Spoke) to organize a comedy event.  Besides these new events, The Pulse has organized a student reading series called Black Dog about every other month for the past few years.  Juliana has been in charge of organizing this reading series for the past year.

This is the link to Juliana’s bio from her poetry reading at the Decatur Book Festival in September of 2015. She was invited to read on behalf of Emory University and was the only student reader at the event.

This is the link to Juliana’s creative writing blog (JMB Poems).  This site contains several examples of Juliana’s works, completed both in and outside of her creative writing classes at Emory University.  In her two years at Emory, Juliana has taken the following creative writing workshops: Introduction to Poetry, Intermediate Poetry, and Advanced Poetry with Dr. Jericho Brown; Introduction to Fiction with Prof. T Cooper; and Intermediate Fiction with Prof. Jim Grimsley.  These classes have been based heavily in studying strategies used by published writers in a variety of genres (through reading and discussing numerous texts) and practicing these strategies in works submitted to the class.  Additionally, these classes focus on fine-tuning workshopping skills, as each student is required to revise the works of his or her peers and then discuss these revisions in class.  These vigorous classes and fantastic professors have heavily shaped Juliana’s writing style and writing quality.  Her experiences have made her a strong believer that USA Today was correct in ranking Emory as the number one college for writers in the nation.
