Background

About Giulia Virga

As a Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences major at Purdue University, I have a passion for helping others and am dedicated to developing my skills in communication and therapy. My education, work experience, and leadership roles have all contributed to my growth as a professional and individual. I am currently a Resident Assistant at Purdue University Residences, where I foster the development of relationships among residents and assist in mediating conversations and resolving conflicts. Additionally, I have gained hands-on experience in physical therapy as a Physical Therapist's Aide at Jag One Physical Therapy and previously as a Doctor's Aide at Propel Physical Therapy. My experience working with patients has honed my skills in communication, patience, and organization. Throughout my high school and college years, I have held various leadership positions, including Vice President for National Residence Hall Honorary, Team Leader for Boiler Gold Rush, Peer Leader for MLHS Peer Leaders, and Coordinator and Leader for Antioch. These roles have allowed me to develop my leadership and communication skills while also making a positive impact on those around me. I am also the recipient of several scholarships, including the Pat McCoy SLHS Scholarship and the Fred C Roth Jr Scholarship. Additionally, I have received awards from the Girl Scouts of America for my community service and leadership abilities. I am a skilled computer user, an active listener, and a fast learner with excellent communication skills. I am excited for the opportunity to apply my skills and knowledge to a professional setting and continue to grow as a professional and individual.
