I recently had the absolute pleasure of working with Julie on large and complex festival to celebrate the University’s 50th Birthday. Her organizational detail, ideas, flexibility and vision were so inspiring to work along side. Always the one to not take credit for the immense amount of work that was required to pull everything together and always 10 steps ahead of the game. Clients and Event Managers like Julie don’t come along that often. I hope to work together again some day!
