Jill is senior associate director of development, responsible for fundraising for the Ed G. Smith College of Business and key university priorities, including campaign initiatives such as the Richter Family Welcome and Alumni Center. She partners with donors and alumni to invest in programs that elevate student success and strengthen the region.
She earned a BA in communications with an emphasis in advertising from Southern Methodist University. She returned to UMSL in March 2021, to the institution where she began her career. After four years in University Relations — primarily in alumni relations — she went on to work at DMB&B, where she advanced from media planner and buyer to assistant media director, and later as president of RM of Missouri, a property management business. A lifelong St. Louisan, she believes education creates hope and transforms not only individual students but entire families for generations. She is proud of the role UMSL plays in powering the region's workforce and views supporting the university as essential to supporting St. Louis.
