With over 24 years of experience in human services, Jill is a servant-leader to approximately 400 employees and believes that our communities are at the core of the lives we touch and critical to a person’s recovery and access to services.

Early in her career, Jill provided direct county-based social work services as well as substance use services and mental health psychotherapy. With a foundational understanding of the provision of both public and private sector services, she has spent the last 17 years in the area of human service administration. Throughout her career, she has focused on developing accessible and high-quality systems of service delivery that result in an impact for those in need. Through county work, and the development of county consortiums across several counties Jill has become an expert in program development and managing statewide services.

Jill received her Bachelor of Arts and Master of Social Work degrees from the University of Michigan – Ann Arbor. Jill has a passion for meeting people where they are, with the right services, in the community. She is energized by LSS’s diverse services available to people throughout Wisconsin and the collaborative approach to service delivery.
