About Me:
Hello! My name is Julia Purrazzella. I am pursuing a career in Sustainability and Environmental Science at Brooklyn College(BC) (2025-Present) and previously at the University of New England (UNE) (2023-2024) because I am very passionate about making the world a better place and helping to solve the issues of climate change in our world. My major at BC is Urban Sustainability: Environmental Science and at UNE it was Marine Affairs with a minor in Climate Change Studies. I am from New York City and have lived there my whole life. I attended the New York Harbor School in the Marine Biology Research Program (MBRP) and graduated in 2023 as the Salutatorian.I work well with others and I am honest about my opinions. One of my proudest accomplishments was presenting at the United Nations Water Conference about youth education in sustainability and clean water.
