Hi friends! My name is Jill and I am a 2017 Fellow from Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, Michigan. I graduated from WMU in April 2018 and have been working now work in data science as a Market Development Specialist an Associate Client Manager (doing market research) at Kalsec for NielsenIQ in Kalamazoo since thenGrand Rapids, MI. When I'm not at work, I love to chill spend time with my cats family and friends, be outside (kayaking, hiking, camping, etc) and work on side projectsread.
While I was in school, I worked on several projects with the help of UIF and my training, including growing our makerspace, establishing design thinking workshops in First Year Experience courses, and establishing a Student Projects Fund. One of my favorite aspects of my UIF experience was getting to work with so many passionate individuals from all walks of life and different educational backgrounds. I am a firm believer that diverse teams are the best teams!
