Hi. I'm Jill. Thanks for taking the time to learn about me. I'm a strategic and results-driven Social Impact professional with 15 years of experience in designing and executing charitable initiatives, employee engagement programs, and corporate giving strategies. I'm dedicated to improving global eye health, enhancing patient care, and fostering sustainable development through innovative programs and partnerships. I've championed the advancement and expansion of initiatives that improved access to eye care, delivering life-changing services to over 1.2 million patients worldwide between 2020-2024. I have been recognized for fostering impactful NGO partnerships, driving sustainable programs, and enhancing organizational reputation. I am passionate about global social impact that delivers measurable outcomes and transforms lives.

I am passionate about many things, but I get particularly excited about global development, healthcare, eye care, mental health, womens' and girls' rights, and equity and social justice.

I have found that a fully or mostly-remote role fits well with my workstyle and lifestyle, and I feel mostly aligned with organizations that embrace a remote/hybrid work environment.
