Julie is a true success story. I watched her in her role as a Senior Executive Assistant while at FCG and it was so clear to me and several others that Julie's talents were not being fully utilized in her role. She was clearly a high potential. She is such a people person, very creative and very articulate in her communications. She relates so well to the workforce. We had an opening in Human Resources so I asked her to join our team. It was one of the best decisions that I ever made. Julie understood the business, she understood our customers and she understood the needs of our employees. She brought very unique and fresh ideas to the table and actually did something with them as she's a self-starter and works well autonomously. She created several new value added programs or enhanced current ones for onboarding, new hire orientation, our HR Helps centralized function, exit interviews and several others. She is, also, an excellent trainer and can quickly assess her audience and their learning needs. Julie's work ethic is second to none. She simply does whatever it takes to get the job done and to get it done very well. Julie is the consummate professional at all times and a team player. Everyone likes her but more important, they respect her as well. I'm so proud of how she grabbed an opportunity, created a career and now is a highly respected and trusted HR professional.

I had the pleasure of working with Julia for several years at both First Consulting Group and CSC. Julia is the consummate professional. She is diligent, fastidious, innovative, creative, customer service oriented and above all a true team player. While working as a member of my team, Julia was able to create and implement several innovative programs in on-boarding, new hire orientation, training, and employee development. Her efforts received high praise and contributed to our organization operating more effectively and increasing employee retention. Julia always provided excellent service to our customers, always received positive feedback from senior leadership, and was given several awards for her outstanding work. Julia has a gift of connecting with all those who she works with including those in senior management, colleagues, and team members. I recommend Julia highly as a true learning and development/HR professional. Any organization would reap the benefits of her workmanship.
