Who we are
JQL Consulting, LLC brings a rigorous business lens to work that advances social impact and civic engagement. Our work spans management consulting and civic dialogue programming, which can be delivered independently or designed to reinforce one another, depending on context and need.
We partner with nonprofits, public institutions, and businesses of all sizes pursuing impact-driven initiatives. While our work is concentrated in healthcare, education, and social services, we serve organizations across sectors and at all stages of the social impact journey.
JQL Consulting is a founder-led practice, with all work led directly by June Liu.
June Liu brings over 15 years of experience working across healthcare, education, and social services, with a focus on strengthening programs that support civic participation and community-level outcomes.
Her experience includes delivering best-in-state outcomes in a $35 million Medicaid pay-for-quality program, developing analytical frameworks to address wage gaps among college-educated adults, and identifying gaps in social-emotional competence assessment across public school districts.
June’s corporate background includes management consulting at Bain & Company, where she developed billion-dollar customer strategies, supported nine-figure revenue growth, and helped close over $100 million in budget shortfalls.
Her career began in health policy and continues to be informed by active engagement in policy and civic discussions. Through this work, she observed how trust, communication, and conflict shape whether groups are able to engage productively in complex problem-solving. This insight led her to create Civic Self, a program designed to facilitate constructive engagement across difference, including political divides.
She holds a Master of Public Health from UTHealth Houston and dual bachelor’s degrees in Biochemistry and Cell Biology and in Policy Studies from Rice University.

Our approach
We believe effective social impact and civic engagement work requires both strong organizational foundations and the ability to navigate human and civic complexity.
This belief shapes how we work, whether through management consulting, civic dialogue programming, or a combination of the two.
Our approach is grounded in respect for civic and institutional context, as well as the participant dynamics that shape how work moves forward.
Experience & local context
Our work is informed by deep familiarity with the Houston social impact and funding landscape, including civic engagement and electoral participation efforts across higher education and community-based organizations.
This includes active engagement in local professional communities, such as Impact Hub Houston and the Coalition for Connected Care, that support collaboration across sectors and disciplines.
We understand how local context, funding priorities, and institutional dynamics shape what is possible, and design our work accordingly.
