About Juliana
Juliana is an associated technical designer for Markarian and has worked for fashion designers on projects such as New York Fashion Week and New York Bridal Week. She is a graduate of Cornell University and the Fashion Institute of Technology.
Juliana chaired MAC Angels’ first Banded Together Against ALS Cocktail Party, where over 100 attendees raised funds and awareness for MAC Angels’ programs and services for pALS. Juliana was motivated by the passing of her uncle from ALS to get involved with MAC Angels Foundation.
"I witnessed firsthand the toll it took: not just on him, but on our entire family," Juliana said. "ALS doesn’t just affect one person; it changes the lives of everyone who loves them. Watching someone you care about face such a relentless disease with strength and dignity leaves a lasting impact, and it’s that impact that drives me to support MAC Angels."
"The work that MAC Angels does supports not only the quality of life for patients, but also the quality of life for families and caregivers is incredible. They truly are angels in an ALS journey assisting with a variety of services including transportation for pALS to appointments, creating communities and support for families, and being healthcare advocates."
