Darleen Horton described Julie as "a builder of bridges.  She connects people of all ages to environmental awareness, responsibility and community. Her super power is her ability to engage and empower students and teachers to become stewards of the environment and to make their own school, neighborhood, and community a better place to live. She leads by example, going the extra mile for others and is loved for the person she is.  Julie brings about positive change by being a champion for the environment, for young people, and for the city of Louisville. She is a quietly tenacious warrior working to make a sustainable environment for us all".
