Drawn to the Food Bank by its innovative and inclusive approach combating food insecurity and its role building a stronger, more connected community, Jill joined the Board of Directors in 2021. Her commitment to our community has had her serve on several Town of Blackfalds boards as well as volunteer for various organizations.

Jill is well traveled, growing up across Canada and the U.S., she has shared time between B.C., Ontario, and South Dakota as well as some in Mexico and Spain. She attended the University of Calgary before moving to the Lower Mainland and finally settling in Blackfalds in 2011. Jill works at Care for Newcomers, where she started as a volunteer in 2013.

Outside of work, Jill enjoys traveling and camping with her family. She has two young kids so much of her time is spent at local sports events, visiting playgrounds, attending community events, and making the most of the many great amenities Blackfalds has to offer.
