In her roles, Julia has garnered extensive experience applying for and managing large grants, she has worked with all levels of government from local municipalities to the White House during the Obama Administration.

“Julia Chunn-Heer is a smart, collaborative, engaged and experienced consultant for local governments and non-profit organizations, bringing together a deep knowledge on coastal and land-use issues to appropriately managing the public process. In our professional interactions I have been on both sides of issues with Julia, and have been highly impressed with her professionalism, ability to problem-solve and build deep relationships that transcend the issue at hand.”
