Jill is a public school Trustee, community volunteer, and mother of three raising her family here in Mississauga. She founded For Jude, For Everyone, an organization to promote flu and illness prevention, after the loss of her son in 2016. She has fought for better resources to reduce illness in our communities and protect our families, schools, workplaces, and healthcare system. In her role as Trustee, she advocates for safe, welcoming, and well-maintained schools to provide a supportive learning environment for all Peel students and staff. She works in Mississauga’s food bank system, where 28% of our city’s visitors are children.

Jill previously worked for RBC in Toronto and taught ESL in South Korea before managing her own business. She holds a BA in Political Science from Wilfrid Laurier University, as well as credentials in Governance & Ethics (UTM) and Crisis Communications (University of Victoria). Jill grew up in Bruce County and has called Mississauga home for over 15 years.

With two children in PDSB schools, Jill sees how underfunding the services we all rely on is putting our families and communities at a disadvantage. She believes governance should be both practical and compassionate and wants a system that will give all our kids the solid ground of a great education to stand on. Jill has fought tirelessly for years for her kids and all kids in our community, and will keep fighting for the world-class education system that opened every door for her and our children deserve today.
