When asked to share about her 4-H experience, Jill shared the following: "My parents were 4-H leaders, so I guess I just followed suit in order to give back too. I tell people to this day that 4-H and FFA paved the path to my success. They taught me about public speaking and record books, they taught me how to plan for something and succeed, they taught me hard work and dedication results in achieving my goals, and finally, they taught me how to give back to the community. Many fond memories of my childhood relate to 4-H, the projects I worked on throughout the years, and the people I met along the way."
