Juliana Russo Email & Phone Number

Hi, my name is Juliana. For the last decade, I have supported children in and out of the classroom on their journey to learn - and love - to read. After receiving my BA in Interpersonal Communications with a double minor in English and Journalism, my passion for reading led me to the classroom. From teaching in New York City to the mountains of Western North Carolina, I have witnessed the transformative power of literacy on student lives. Now, as a Communications Manager at Learning Ally, an education nonprofit serving students with learning differences, I make an impact on a broader scale by connecting with our foundation partners to provide students with accessible and equitable literacy solutions. I am also a Board Member of Friends of Hudson Youth, an education nonprofit supporting underserved communities in Hudson, New York. I assist with their grant-writing initiatives, content creation, and social media marketing.I consider myself a lifelong literacy advocate. Some of my achievements include significantly helping students with dyslexia and learning differences increase their reading comprehension and phonemic awareness during 1:1 tutoring sessions, providing families with access to evidence-based literacy resources, and managing Learning Ally’s philanthropy communication strategy and partnership outreach.Outside of work, I love photography, gardening, hiking, floral design, reading, thrifting, and traveling.

Listed skills include Social Media, Marketing, Sales, Public Relations, and 18 others.
