Experience

Previously, Juliette served as an Outreach Specialist for the Minority Behavioral Health Group in Akron, Ohio for 2 years. She attended a plethora of community events to reach often underserved populations that don’t have access to mental health resources and bring awareness to the services that are available in the Summit, Stark, Cuyahoga, and Portage County areas. She also assisted with building connections and partnerships with organizations that looked to service those in need and had a desire to push wellness forward. Throughout Juliette’s college career, she had the privilege of serving as a Resident Assistant under the leadership of her Hall Director and Graduate Hall director. This hands-on experience at the collegiate level is what prepared her for the role she was appointed with at the Youth Excellence Performing Arts Workshop (YEPAW). As of August 2022, Juliette has served as the Residence Hall Director for YEPAW, a program that services populations of all backgrounds who have a heart for the arts with a Christian foundation. She was a member of the organization for 9 years before being graced with the opportunity to serve in the current role she occupies at present.
