Bio
Amy Bartlett
While leading RESULTS Canada, we worked with Julie on two very successful WASH-related research pieces. The project benefited greatly from Julie's deep expertise in water and sanitation issues, as well as her extensive knowledge of the sector in Canada and globally. Her research was well-organized, thorough and strategic, and she always delivered on time and according to work plans, often with extra pieces done, going above and beyond to get the most out of the project. Beyond the excellent concrete outcomes she produced, Julie was a pleasure to work with: thoughtful, patient, strategic-minded, kind and a great team player. I would jump at the chance to collaborate again!

Julie and I have worked together for many years. She is very knowledgeable and always a pleasure to work with. She is an expert in her field and I have learned so much from her experience within the not-for-profit vertical. Julie is always willing to learn new things (FX) and brings her knowledge to the process to always improve and get more funds to the important projects that her organization is working on. I look forward to working with her on many more projects in the future.
