Juliana completed her Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Sociology with a Minor in Law in 2017 at Carleton University, and her Juris Doctorate in 2021 at the University of Ottawa. Most recently, she received her Certificate in Family Mediation from York University following a six-week intensive training program that refined her negotiation, drafting and problem-solving skills.
During the program, she was able to delve deeper into areas of family law through simulated, hands-on role-play scenarios. She gained a deeper analysis involving the intersectionality of issues experienced by clients going through family matters, especially during her Domestic Violence course.
Prior to practicing exclusively in family law since her call to the Ontario Bar in 2021, Juliana has experience working in criminal defence. Juliana understands the dynamic nature of family law and her passion for ongoing learning makes her a proactive and emotionally intelligent advocate. Juliana is also fluent in Tagalog.
