Julia Willette

U Mass Amherst '24

Hi! My name is Julia Willette and I am a senior at the University of Massachusetts Amherst in the Commonwealth Honors College! I am currently pursuing a dual degree in political science and psychology. I am particularly interested in the intersection of these two fields: where legislation and mental health align! At Umass I have been a part of various clubs and organizations. I am currently a sister of Sigma Kappa. In my time in Sigma Kappa, I was given the opportunity to serve as the VP of Philanthropy for the Umass Panhellenic Council. I am also involved in various clubs on campus such as the Democrats Club and Psi Chi (the psychology honors fraternity).

I love to write about politics and current events especially through a feminist lens. I want my page to be a platform in which I can share my opinions and share information about the current political climate of our nation. Whether those who read my articles agree with my opinions or not, I want my page to feel like a safe place for people to come to read things in a perspective that they may not otherwise have considered.

While I enjoy writing about my academic interests, I’m also just a 21 year old girl who loves girly things and loves writing about girlhood. I want my page to be a safe place for everyone to learn, relate, and question. I am only 21 years old and I still have a lot to learn about life, love, and the world. However, I want the readers of my work to come along with me for the journey. We can learn together, feel things together, and change together! As an upcoming senior, I already have lots of feelings about senior year, post grad life, and expectations. I cannot wait to unpack all of this with all of you!
