After graduating from the University of Delaware with her Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) in 2021, Julianna decided to continue her education and has just begun her senior year at the University of Delaware, where she is working towards a Master’s degree as a Psychiatric Family Nurse Practitioner.

To complete her curriculum and required clinical hours – as well as gain valuable exposure – she has been working part time at Embrace Psychiatric Wellness Center while also completing her Master’s degree. At Embrace, she assists with new patient consultations to help them get connected with services such as genetic testing, as well as the right practitioners and therapist(s).

Julianna is one of seven students who are currently completing their clinical rotations – including psychotherapy rotations – with Embrace this fall.

Founder and owner of Embrace Psychiatric Wellness Center, Dr. Bolona, mentors and teaches the nurse practitioner and physician assistant students from Chamberlain University, Walden University, LaSalle University, Monmouth University, and the University of Delaware.

“We partner with universities and work with students because the future of mental health depends on cultivating new minds. By sharing our knowledge and experience, we ensure that the next generation of professionals is prepared to carry forward the mission of compassionate care.” Dr. Bolona says.

After completing her schooling in May and graduating with her Master’s degree as a Psychiatric Family Nurse Practitioner, Julianna plans to work in an outpatient practice getting more broad exposure. She hopes to focus on working with people who are suffering from substance abuse.

“I like to listen to the perspectives of my patients and collaborate with them to help them live their fullest lives,” says Julianna.

When she is not working or studying, Julianna likes to spend her free time hiking, traveling, going to the beach, and skiing.
