An accomplished junior golfer and high school state champion field hockey player, Jill attended Wheaton College in Norton MA, and graduated in 2004 with a degree in Economics.
After graduation, she enrolled in the PGA program and became a “Class A’ PGA member working for the PGA TOUR as the First Assistant at TPC Boston in Norton MA, hosting a Fedex Cup TOUR Event.

In 2012, Jill and her husband Jon opened an upscale modern American restaurant in Falmouth MA called C Salt Wine Bar & Grille, where Jon was named Best of Boston’s Top Chef on Cape Cod. After selling their restaurant post Covid in 2021, Jill and her husband moved back to her hometown of Litchfield to purchase her family’s 9 hole public golf course, and raise their 2 children, Ella age 8 and Drew age 6. After undergoing a massive clubhouse renovation in 2021, Stonybrook Golf & Clubhouse Provisions reopened in August 2022 with improved course conditions, an elevated merchandise and tournament program, extensive instructional program offerings for women and juniors, and a full service casual fine dining restaurant and function space.
