I have the opportunity to lead Julia on our design team, and I can say that her work is exemplary! Her ideas and contributions have been essential in raising the level of the project, not only visually, but also in terms of business impact. With a keen eye for detail and a strategic approach, she brings a significant difference to the team. Her dedication and ability to deliver solid designs aligned with business objectives make her an extraordinary professional and indispensable to the success of any project. I highly recommend Ju!

Being aware of challenges and, at the same time, striving to deliver her best are some of Julia's virtues. I have had the pleasure of studying and working with her on academic and professional projects since 2018. We have worked and developed together in leadership roles in the Junior Enterprise Movement, and I have witnessed her professional growth, maturity, and a combination of incredible results! I have no doubt that her future will be bright and that she will build wonderful things wherever she is. Another virtue she possesses, for which I am a deep admirer, is her empathy and admirable ability to make herself available to help at all times. Passionate about education and technology, her contribution is sure to lead to great advances.
