My name is Julia Harrison and I recently completed a Bachelor of Arts (Criminology) at The University of Melbourne. I am outgoing, hard working and innovative. I have a passion for politics, marketing and gender and social issues. I throughly enjoy reading, writing, being social, watching television and playing netball. I recently returned from a 6-month solo backpacking trip through Eastern Europe which was an amazing experience that taught me so many things. As I have returned I am very eager to exercise my brain and to pursue my career interests through programs such as the Australia Post Accelerator Internship Program.
