Julia D’Antonio

Julia D’Antonio is a 2020 graduate of UC Berkeley Haas School of Business and currently sits on a non-profit board. She has worked and volunteered in her community since 2011, serving as Peer Organizer and Shelter Client Advocate. After experiencing housing instability as a youth in San Francisco and later living in family shelter with her oldest daughter, she was introduced to community organizing as a way to systemically change circumstances for all unhoused and at-risk San Franciscans. She would like to build self-sustaining tangible tools for low-income, working class, and historically excluded communities that create shared value for society and challenge the notion that profit and social impact are mutually exclusive. She would also like to inspire others with lived experience to build the tools they would like to see in their communities. In her spare time, she creates mixed-medium art and spends time with her daughters ages 7 and 9, while continuing to immerse herself in the community, volunteerism, and policy work.
