Julie’s expertise in navigating complex HR issues is unmatched. Her unique background in the business and nonprofit sectors gives her a perspective that many HR professionals do not have. Her guidance and support helped YSB navigate a variety of HR issues that helped us better serve our staff.

Julie has been a great resource to our team. I have appreciated her attentiveness, professionalism, and diligence. A highlight for me has been her willingness to be proactive and share information that may be relevant to our organization, even if there are no direct actions required on her part. She has been instrumental in ensuring our HR needs were filled during a time of great change and growth. As a partner during calmer times, it gives me great confidence knowing we have a trusted HR professional to step in as needed and ensure effective team management and efficient operations.”

I couldn't recommend Julie more highly. She is incredibly responsive and creative in her approach, and always delivers guidance in a practical and easy to understand way. I have also been appreciative that Julie's support can expand and retract in real time as the needs of the company changed. Her passion and understanding of the particular challenges of nonprofit organizations makes her a unique talent in the market.
