I've had the pleasure of working with Jillian within many different departments within HHCC. I mention this as Jillian is the most consistently organized, thoughtful, responsible team player! She always gathers all her information to ensure she can complete her work, she always follows up when she says she will and owns every piece of her project. She manages multiple projects at once with focus and calmness ... and always a smile. Whenever I had a project with Jillian I was excited as I knew it was going to go smoothly, she is a huge asset to HHCC.

Jillian is a true star. I had the fortunate opportunity to work with her for two years at NAS. Throughout that time, I watched Jillian excel. She grew as leader within our Account Management team, and represented all the qualities of the ultimate employee and colleague. Jillian is creative, determined, reliable, current, dedicated, beyond organized, confident, strategic, and inspiring to work with. Any organization is lucky to have her on their team. I am lucky to call her a friend, and would embrace the chance to work together in the future.
