Julia (Wilson) Deans

Julia Lo is a true pleasure to work with. Beyond being intelligent, thoughtful and thorough in planning and executing work at a consistently high standard, she brings a wide range of creative talents and drive to everything she does. She is also in constant learning mode – always wanting to learn new skills and take on new responsibilities. Julia will be a tremendous asset to any team or initiative that she is part of.

Marie-Soleil Pinsonnault

I had the pleasure to work with Julia on a project at AIDE. She has proven to be a proactive, efficient and detail-oriented individual. Her fluency in both official languages was very helpful. Julia is also a very good team player and is an enthusiastic employee. I would recommend her without a doubt.
