MEMBER SPOTLIGHT: Sisters Maggie Sivon Allen and Julia Sivon Murillo
Maggie Sivon Allen is the Head of Publicity for Amazon Publishing where she leads the public relations team for Amazon’s trade publishing business. She and her husband moved from Brooklyn to Washington, DC in 2019 and welcomed a baby boy in 2020. Maggie spends her time chasing her crawling baby around the house, walking Capitol Hill with her rescue dog, practicing yoga, doing CrossFit, and reading and talking about books.
Julia Sivon Murillo is the Senior Director of Custom Programs at Georgetown University School of Continuing Studies where she partners with organizations in the DMV to develop customized learning experiences for their employees. Julia previously lived and worked in Quito, Ecuador, where she met her husband Christian in 2009. They moved to Washington, DC in 2016 and have enjoyed being close to Julia's family and eating out at the many delicious Latin American restaurants.
Why Maggie & Julia joined Impact100 DC:
The DMV is an international, political, and inspiring area that comes with its own needs and challenges. We both played field hockey while we were growing up in the suburbs of DC and used to say that "sticks in a bundle are unbreakable." We know that joining a team of 103 smart and thoughtful women will result in more meaningful change in our community than what the two of us could do individually. We also joined because, full disclosure, our mom, Ellen Sivon, is a founding Board Member of Impact 100 DC!
