Jill’s work as a team leader is built on 30 years experience in the heritage field, as a courthouse designer and in planning and policy development. She is a skilled facilitator and a dedicated liaison for THA clients. In addition to her work as a project principal and project architect for large institutional sites, she is an expert in facility planning and programming.
