Jill is a technologist by mistake. After graduating from Purdue University with a degree in Organizational Communication, and obtaining her educators license at IUPUI, Jill spent the formative years of her career in the halls of Lawrence Central high school helping educators implement technology in their classrooms. She also worked as an Education Instructional Specialist for IBM, combining both education and technology.
From there, Jill spent over 12 years at ExactTarget, Salesforce and Octiv with the majority of her career spent onboarding new employees, creating curriculum and training clients and partners on how to use the ExactTarget/Salesforce Marketing Cloud and Octiv platforms.
Jill was looking for a way to blend her years in education and technology. She landed at Nextech and is charged with creating experiences for high school students to better connect them to Central Indiana’s thriving tech scene. Jill considers this to be her dream job and a means to fulfill her mission to serve the youth of Indiana.
