Julia's passion, vision and initiative were instrumental in making Trio a success. For over 10 years, Julia has maintained a strong commitment to education and the arts. Her enthusiasm, supportive and socially conscious attitude has led her to serve as advisor and participant for several student and cultural organizations such as La Casa Latina, the Black Student Union and the 100 Hispanic Women, Westchester Chapter. She has donated countless hours to numerous philanthropic causes.
