"Plain and simple, Julie is a "rock star'' when it comes to marketing and public relations. She is detail-oriented, hard-working, diligent and industrious. She is smart, passionate about her work and always willing to go the extra mile. Julie is also collaborative, able to seek out partners and creatively find solutions when dollars don't quite stretch far enough. One of her strongest talents is how adept she is with the technical challenges inherent in using online media. Singlehandedly, she saved the Opera House thousands of marketing dollars in areas where many nonprofits are forced to hire media support."
