Julianna joined the team at Hannah Grimes in 2021 as the director of Radically Rural. In 2022 she also added duties as Deputy Executive Director for the center, before becoming Executive Director in 2024. In her new role, she is most passionate about continuing to cultivate essential endeavors and regional economies that are resilient, regenerative, and distributive in design. Essentially, in service of ALL life.

For fun she enjoys dancing, tending the land, reading to her kids, thrifting, surfing, and nerding out on all things humanities.
