Jill's Personal Mission
"My life’s work has been devoted to impacting and decreasing all forms of family violence," says Jill. "I worked as a therapist and after a short time, realized that my gifts were in creating systems and programs that fit with the organizations I was serving. My greatest means of helping others is to create teams of people who have great gifts in terms of the work that needs to be done, growing and developing them, and then letting them do the work in their individual way. I have also worked very heavily on social policy change through State and National forums."

“Jill is the most passionate person I know about what she believes in from her heart. She doesn’t just speak her words, she feels what she speaks. Not coming from a domestic violence background, I have learned more from Jill in the last few months than I have known over my entire life. Jill inspires me to continue advocating and working tirelessly to advocate for victims of domestic violence.”
