Jillian was an ambassador at MYL in 2016 and returned to MYL as a JC in 2017 and 2018 then came back as an SF in 2023. She notes that MYL came into her life at a formative time, “It has shaped who I am and inspires who I wish to become. I've been an ambassador, a JC, and an SF in my time at MYL. Joining the MYL Board felt like the next right step for me. I wish to give back to MYL in any way I can. It's a truly outstanding environment we've cultivated here and I only wish to help it grow.”
After MYL, she graduated from Gorham High School in 2018. As of 2024 she is finishing up her degree in Public Health, B.S. with a minor in Wabanaki Languages at the University of Southern Maine and plans to get her MPH after graduation.

In doing so, she gets to support their Wabanaki interns while working on projects that promote public health education in Tribal communities.
Fun Facts About Jillian
-
I may only be 24, but I enjoy "grandma" activities in my free time. I like to read, crochet, spend time outdoors with my adventure cat Kingsley. I also create bead work, am a digital artist, and like to paint. And I love spending time with my family and friends. When I can, I love to travel and explore new places.

I love to kayak. I used to take my dog Miracle kayaking with me and that was always a highlight of my summer. He hated water, but loved kayaking, and was small enough to fit on my lap.

I'm fortunate enough that I've gotten to travel to some incredible places already. However, I would love to see the Northern Lights one day.
