Hey There!

👩🏾‍🎓

Smiling woman in black dress with pearl necklace outdoors on a campus or park with green trees and a building in the background.

I’m Julianna Thomas

Virtually
Waving!

Professionally 

I’ve interned for global entertainment brands, multinational news stations, and linear film networks to execute creative campaigns and develop strategic content.

I excel  in collaborative teams that use curiosity and creativity to transform insightful ideas into cultural moments.

Academically

I am a soon-to-be UGA alumna (May 2026), receiving highest honors with a B.A. in Entertainment &  Media Studies and New Media Certificate.

Outside of Athens, I am an Emma Bowen and LAGRANT Foundation Fellow, where I develop leadership skills to advance diversity and equity in media. 

Personally

I am a film fanatic (the Fast and Furious franchise has my heart), a people-lover, and amateur distance runner who can’t resist a spontaneous shopping trip.
