Juliann has worked in Private Equity for over 15 years and relocated to San Francisco a couple of years ago.

Her favorite prom dress was from Betsey Johnson (the store was formerly in San Francisco’s Union Square area). The dress  was short and Juliann was breaking tradition by not having a long dress.  It was also black so she thought her prom dress was completely alternative and didn’t realize black was going to be a staple forever!
