VANGUARD Interns

JULIANA TUPPER is a recent graduate from the University of San Diego with a major in Communication Studies and a minor in Psychology. She was born in Venezuela and lived in Colombia and Panama before moving to San Diego for college. Growing up a ‘bookworm’ and having a mother involved in the entertainment and creative arts industry, Juliana has always been passionate about the creative arts especially writing, film and photography. Although these passions have primarily been set aside as hobbies, she strives to make them part of her professional life with the dream of becoming a Photojournalist. Juliana understands the significance of arts on individuals and communities and wants to be a part of that impact through Vanguard Culture.
