Bio
David Ronka
Julie is one of the most creative and strategically-minded leaders I have ever worked with. Her systems thinking allows her to see the whole across time and problem solve with sustainable and innovative results. She has strength as a designer, researcher, proposal writer, and content developer. Additionally, her ability to work successfully with people from all parts of the organization helps her to build teams and "translate" horizontally and vertically within an organization. Julie's work is characterized by high client satisfaction, quickness as a learner, integrity, work ethic, creativity, and results. I highly recommend Julie as a member or leader of any team at the executive level.

Julie is a knowledgeable, talented educator with a passion for literacy, learning, and social justice. She listens carefully to the needs of her clients or constituents and then crafts a personalized plan that is informed by her background and expertise. Julie's work is of the highest quality, and her professionalism and sense of humor have earned her the respect of the teachers and administrators with whom she has worked. I give her my highest recommendation.
