Giuliana’s voice & acting journey began at a performing arts school just like Gateway to the Arts. Just a shy 6 year old when she started, she used the stage as her expressive outlet and quickly found her place. With a BA in Theater & Communications from Purdue University and 17 years of vocal training behind her, Giuliana’s experience is balanced and diversified. A Chicago-native, she returned home after graduation to study at The Second City, work at the Drury Lane, and begin her teaching journey at a youth commercial & film acting studio. However, NYC called to her after a thrilling college internship with a Broadway Casting Agency, and she soon made her way to the East Coast. During her time in the city, Giuliana workshopped an Off-Broadway show, starred in multiple short films and web series’, attended the Cannes Film Festival, and continued to train in all facets of performance. While performing, she nannied for several years during which a passion for childhood development and flourishment was cultivated. Currently, Giuliana produces conferences where a large portion of her work consists of coaching speakers to be calm, confident, and magnetic onstage while continuing to perform within the NJ Theater Community. She has a practical, emotionally safe, and fun approach to her work and is excited to blend all of her passions at Gateway to the Arts. You may have seen her in NJ in The Polar Express (Whippany), Sense & Sensibility (Summit Playhouse), or Peter & the Starcatcher (Studio Playhouse). Theatrical and small screen credits include Cabaret, The Eye of the Needle, Legacy, Legally Blonde, Chicago, Crimes of the Heart, Pride & Prejudice, A Christmas Carol and more.
