She has served on The University of Chicago’s Admission Advisory Board and has worked as a College Coach at University of Southern California’s one-month summer program for high-achieving low-income students.
Prior to starting her college consulting practice, Jill spent 12 years working as a Dean of College Counseling at Windward School in Los Angeles where she partnered with 400 students and families to navigate the college admission process from beginning to end.
Jill attended Mount Holyoke College and Willamette University where she earned her B.S. in psychology and women’s studies. She has taken several graduate-level courses through Middlebury College’s Bread Loaf School of English. Jill is based in Los Angeles, where she lives with her partner and two dogs.
Success Stories
"Hiring Jill was the best decision we could have made for our child, not only because of the happy results (our child was admitted to two of her top three college choices), but also because of the gentle, sage, and clear-minded way in which Jill guided her (and us!) along the way.”
