Jenna Liotta

Julia Lazzarote, a talented and determined 12th grader from sao paulo, Brazil, moved to the United States in 2014 when she was just about 8 years old. She is a self-taught artist with a passion for painting, drawing, and singing. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her friends and family. Julia’s favourite memory from Brazil is when her cousins would come over and have family barbecues. Her friends would describe her as loyal, funny, smart, and amazing company to be with. When Julia grows up, she has dreams of becoming a graphic designer in digital design and visual communication, a goal which she is already pursuing through Digital Design Academy. Her biggest inspiration is both her parents, due to how they built their lives, their resilience, and everything they have sacrificed to bring her to this point. Julia loves romantic movies. Her favourite movie is 50 First Dates, and she also likes thrilling shows like Stranger Things. Her top three artists are Ariana Grande, Amy Winehouse, and Shakira, which speaks to her great taste in music. Julia is also heavily involved in our school; not only is she president of the Italian club, but she is also the communication manager of the Going Green club and the secretary of the National Honor Society. If Julia could swap lives with anyone, she would choose to live the life of a famous pop star to experience their day-to-day life. If Julia could sum herself up in two words, they would be loyal and dedicated.
