Jill - Chiropractic Assistant
Jill's Story:
Jill attended the University of MN, Duluth where she majored in Elementary Ed with a minor in Early Childhood and an emphasis in Music. Just shy of graduating, she realized her real passion was in serving one family at a time, which led to many years as a professional nanny. She and husband Scott welcomed 3 children, and life shifted slowly from doing childcare to teaching their own children and becoming a leader in the local homeschool community.
Recently retired from many years of directing Wings Homeschool Group, Jill remembered a thought she had many years ago while visiting Rev with her children. While sports, music, field trips and volunteering filled the spare moments of their homeschool life, it was this: “I’d love to work at Rev some day!” As the Lord would have it, a position opened soon after recalling that thought, and Jill enthusiastically jumped at the opportunity.
When not at Rev, Jill loves spending time with family, singing in her church choir, catching up with friends, and keeping up on the medical/personal freedom arena.
