Julia Rahimzadeh 

Studio associate

Originally from Richmond, Kentucky, Julia recently graduated from Georgetown University with a degree in English and Religion, Ethics, and World Affairs.

Prior to starting at The Harwood Institute, Julia did editorial work for a digital fundraising firm during the 2020 campaign cycle; she also held various administrative and creative roles on her college campus. As the daughter of two teachers and a lover of theology, Julia's interests lie in improving public education and the potential for religion to effect change. She's excited to consider these and other community issues as she works with the Studio this spring.

Outside of work, Julia enjoys taking long walks around DC, trying to find the world's best chocolate chip cookie, and talking about how studying abroad in Italy changed her.
