Hi! My name is Julia Lagano and I am a senior at Virginia Tech studying Multimedia Journalism, French with a minor in Italian. Born and raised in Springfield, VA, I grew up doing dive and being a benchwarmer for my high school's lacrosse team. I knew I was destined for food journalism when I made monthly food review packages for my school's broadcasting class (A/V nerd). Flash forward to college, I started as a Human Nutrition, Foods and Exercise major but chemistry is not my strong suit...at all. You can catch me on the airwaves during the school year on the student-run radio station at VT! I love music: rock, 90s hiphop (please don't make me choose between Tupac and Biggie Smalls, they're both good), R&B, jazz, soul, you name it. Outside of school, I enjoy traveling, cooking and baking, reading, movie nights, drawing, shopping, and sewing. I like to pretend that I am an expert in sewing which sets me up for failure when I attempt to rework clothes. I have a goal to read 20 books this year but I'm currently behind schedule on that (oops).
