Julieta Vitullo

WITS Program Associate

I’m the WITS Program Associate at SAL, which means I work with the Writers in the Schools team to maintain relationships with our community of writers, schools, teachers, and families. I lead the WITS Spotlight Authors program, support our writers in their residencies across Puget Sound schools, and organize WITS public events and publications, among many other fun and interesting things. I’m from Buenos Aires, a fast-paced cosmopolitan city, culturally and intellectually vibrant, and home to Jorge Luis Borges’ genius. I moved to New Jersey in my mid-twenties and lived there for some of the most formative years of my life (not far from the dwellings of many Philip Roth’s characters), so I consider myself a bit of a Jersey girl in addition to a South American, an Argentine and, from a U.S. perspective, a Latina. I’ve been living in the PNW for almost a decade now, so I’m also proud north-westerner who has developed an adaptation for long, rainy winters, and a love for Seattle as a location for some of my stories. If I wasn’t working at SAL, I would be traveling the world with a dance company and spending time at a beach town in between each tour. My personal motto is: “I have little patience for things that don’t surprise me.”
