Juliana Hamel, Executive Opinions Editor

An avid dog-lover and cookie-dough-ice-cream-eater, Juliana is excited to spend her last year with The Lancer Spirit as Executive Opinions Editor. When she isn’t writing, Juliana is running with the track team, playing with her three dogs, binge-watching Netflix and YouTube, and probably stressing about all the work she procrastinated doing. She loves travelling, relaxing at the beach, and, of course, sleeping. She can’t wait for the upcoming year!
