Mrs Julie Hunter has been a Parliamentary Secretary in the Cayman Islands Government since May 2025 supporting the Ministries of Planning, Lands, Agriculture, Housing and Infrastructure, Education and Training, Culture and Heritage.

In addition to being a first-time Member of Parliament for West Bay West, she is a seasoned professional with over 35 years in the banking industry and eight years in the legal profession. Parliamentary Secretary Hunter began her career as a loans officer at Cayman National Bank and rose to the position of vice president, successfully opening and managing multiple branches. This experience helped to hone her leadership, management and operational expertise.

Her tenure in the legal sector as assistant clerk of court also enriched her understanding of the legal framework that supports public service, equipping her to address pressing issues such as affordable housing, healthcare access, and environmental sustainability.

Parliamentary Secretary Hunter’s commitment to community service is evident through her involvement in a number of initiatives such as the Interschool Christian Fellowship and the Soup Kitchen Ministry. She has mentored at-risk youth through the Bonaventure Home Programme and funded scholarships for young Caymanians. In recognition of her contributions, she was honoured on National Heroes Day in 2013 for her work in youth services and again in 2023 for her commitment to volunteerism.

As the Founder and President of Circle of Love, Mrs Hunter has led the organisation for over 17 years, providing vital resources to families in need and fostering inclusion. Her vision is to preserve the unique identity of the Cayman Islands while prioritising the needs of its people, ensuring a sustainable and prosperous future for all Caymanians.
