About Me:
Hello! My name is Julia Purrazzella. I am pursuing a career in Environmental Policy 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. My Myers-Briggs results are ISFJ,(Introverted, Observant, Feeling, and Judging). According to this test, people with this personality type are warm and unassuming, efficient, and give careful attention to detail, this is accurate! My Holland Code is ISC(Investigative, Social, Conventional). 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.
