Project Manager
Juliana joined ASR in November 2019 and serves as a Project Manager. She is a bicultural, bilingual researcher and evaluator committed to advancing social justice and equity through research. Drawing on both lived experience and professional expertise, she brings deep knowledge of the needs of Hispanic/Latin(o)(a)(x)(e) communities disproportionately affected by U.S. immigration policy and related health and economic inequities.
​
At ASR, Juliana has contributed to a wide range of program evaluations and community-wide needs assessments with partners seeking to improve outcomes for historically marginalized communities, including system-impacted youth and adults, individuals with mental health and substance use disorder needs, and people experiencing homelessness. Her work spans domestic and international contexts and multiple sectors, from community-based nonprofits to government agencies. She is skilled in qualitative and quantitative methodologies and has led and supported all phases of research and evaluation, including project design, data collection and analysis, report writing, community engagement, and ongoing project management.
​
Juliana earned a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Religious Studies, with a minor in Education, from the University of California, Santa Barbara. She subsequently earned a Master of Public Administration and a Master of Arts in Latin American Studies from San Diego State University. Her graduate research examined the vital contributions of rural women as seasonal agricultural workers in Chile’s fruit export industry. During her graduate studies, she also conducted binational research in the San Diego-Tijuana border region, amplifying the voices of asylum seekers and migrants navigating U.S. immigration systems, and worked alongside Indigenous community members in the Mixtec region of Mexico.
​
Outside of ASR, Juliana enjoys spending time with her partner and their Siberian Husky, eating Peruvian food, and traveling with loved ones.
