Julia is originally from Baltimore County, MD and previously worked at CHC as a senior admissions advisor. Her favorite part of Philadelphia is seeing concerts at Lincoln Financial Field and The Met. Having lived in the city for over 8 years, she recommends students branch outside of campus to see all the great opportunities Philly has to offer! Her favorite part about CHC is the unique experience of going to a small school with a tight-knit community that is also so close to all the activities center city Philadelphia has to offer!
