Jill leads BloomBoard's operational core — overseeing program development, partner and learner success, and strategic funding initiatives. She drives the design and quality of educator preparation programs, builds the funding infrastructure that makes BloomBoard's work accessible and scalable, and works across higher education, state agencies, districts, and workforce boards to build programs that are rigorous and financially sustainable. Her efforts have secured millions in state and federal grants and expanded registered apprenticeship programs across multiple states. With over 25 years in education — as a classroom teacher, school principal, and Assistant Superintendent of Academics at the Louisiana Department of Education — Jill brings both deep practitioner roots and policy experience to her work. She is driven by the belief that well-prepared teachers are the most powerful lever for student learning.
