Jill is a proud So. Cal native. She & her Husband of almost 20 years have 2 hilarious Sons, a 5th grader & Sophomore.

An animal lover & water enthusiast, Jill finds her happiest moments with family, animals, or relaxing by the ocean. For the past 3 years, she’s fostered kittens for BFAS. One of the best decisions she’s ever made.

Her passion for SPED runs deep, shaped by the influence of her older brother, who has Fragile X. Supporting his learning & growth has always been 2nd nature to her. Many tried to place limits on what he could achieve — but she also saw his “village” refuse to accept those. She constantly saw the many loving & creative ways they helped him thrive. Her hope is that she can do the same for her students.
