“Julie has excellent talents for understanding the issues, absorbing what the rest of us say about the solution, and then turning it into words within an organized structure. She is a pleasure to work with, talented and extremely dedicated to getting the job done right. She is definitely one of the best proposal writers that I have ever worked with.”
