Julie's expertise in public health policy is fantastic. Her knowledge and connections federally and at the state level has resulted in significant health policy as well as helping make clear the value of public health!

I have worked with Julie for the past 7 years and highly commend her professionalism, her knowledge of complex policy issues, and her tenacity. Julie gets things done, and she's remarkable in her ability to take a complicated topic and help others attain a deep understanding of it. She's excellent at communicating with broad and diverse stakeholders and I think she is especially good at bringing people together to form a consensus around common goals. Julie is smart, positive, and always retains a sunny disposition. I would want her on any team of which I am a member!
