It happens to be the specialty of Julianne O’Connell, a University of Georgia Ph.D. candidate. After years of teaching in Germany, Indonesia, and Austria, she has returned to the Classic City to make a difference.
O’Connell is an adventurer with a passport running out of room for stamps. But it’s not a love for hopping around the world that drives her travels. It’s a strong passion for and serving those in them, especially through food security. O’Connell strives to improve student support services and the basic needs of her community through personal, long-term connections with those who need that assistance. Her empathy and work ethic make that possible not just in her home base but anywhere in the world.
