  • "Jill, you're just the very best of us. I still can't believe how lucky I've been to know and work with you over the last six(ish) (seven?!) years. Your character, your kindness and empathy, your confidence, and your patience make you hands down one of the **best** colleagues one could possibly have. The impact you've been able to make at Pyramid is truly transformational, but it's the person who you are that'll last in my memory—whether it was staying up until the wee hours during COVID figuring out a live stream, or sending along cat memes to ease stress, or making fun of how Emily eats Milanos, or talking Grand Designs. No matter what was happening, personally or professionally, I knew you would always be there as a thoughtful guide and sounding board. I'm so excited for you and your next chapter. And I'm so thankful to know you and have you in my life."

  • "Jill!!!! You are the best. The best. The best. The best. You are BRILLIANT. Dedicated to your team, bringing such heart and care to all of our growth, development, and connection. You built this unbelievably successful business (within the business) from the ground up and made it something everyone could engage in. You've challenged us and made us better. You see the big picture and the details. I have felt so lucky to work with you over these years and to know you as a person!! I am so thrilled for you in taking your next steps and finding new adventures. And as you know, you will be forever connected to us whether you like it or not so it's not goodbye. Congrats, Jill, on such impact at Pyramid. We love you!!!!!! And I don't know what Kim is talking about I don't eat Milanos funny at all I eat them completely normally."

    Emily

  • "Dear Jill, As 82 babies and elder millenial / gen x cuspers we remember the dial up internet, late days playing outside without supervision in our neighborhoods, renting VHS and DVDs, neon and big bangs with lots of hairspray! We also lived our passions in careers of soccer and symphony only to find ourselves meeting at this crossroads called Pyramid Communications. I'll never forget our original collaboration, supporting Puyallup Tribe stop LNG and making social media make sense as an important tool to get shit done. The Indigi-squad was formed and it will live on thanks to you. I've learned endless amounts from you and your friendship, your leadership, and your genuine committment to team. I will miss you so dearly as a comrade and friend. Until soon! With so much love! "

  • "Jill, I will always be grateful for your insights and open ears. AND, you are easily my favorite person to lose to in cribbage! I'm glad for all those card-playing victories—they offset some of the more stressful client work we had together! 😅 "

    Chris

  • "I personally do not care for Jill. She is a cat person, which is deeply suspicious. And she stays on a computer screen instead of coming over to feed me treats. But apparently my mom loves talking to her and will miss her a lot, so I guess she’s not all bad…"

    Roger

  • "Jill, you elevate my thinking, sharpen my focus, broaden my perspective, and enliven my work days! I have benefitted greatly from your wisdom and leadership for seven years. Thank you for creating an environment where heart and mind go hand-in-hand. I'm so proud of what we've accomplished together. "

    Jeff

  • "Jill, thank you for teamwork and friendship the past seven years. The level of care that you provide across our projects has resulted in beautiful and powerful work for our communities. I always felt more confident when doing a project together, thank you for stepping up our game. Oh and Junior says you're always welcome at our place if you bring chicken treats. Thanks for being an early believer that I could be cat person, too. Wishing you well on the journey ahead, I know that you will do well wherever you go."

    Ruby

  • "Jill, from the beginning of knowing her, has inspired me to balance being human and professional at the same time. Somehow she is a sparkling spectrum of finely tuned, hard and soft skills: incredibly technically skilled and always leveling up, driven by data, a great communicator and solicitor of client buy-in, realistic planner who believes in celebration of achievable goals, and encouraging mentor who wants her coworkers to have a great life outside of work, too. It’s a lot! I have loved being coworkers and I’m excited to now be friends."

    Kira

  • "Jill asks the most excellent questions, is steady and thoughtful under pressure, and shows deep consideration for everyone she works with. Her care for this community is on display every day — I always leave check-ins with her feeling supported and cared for, even if it’s her seventh meeting in a row. And I know so many other people who feel the same way. Every piece of work I’ve seen her touch— across projects and management — is made better, kinder, and more thoughtful because of her contributions. She has given us so much. Thank you, thank you, thank you."

    Kate

  • "Jill - From day one you have been a leader in all that you do. Always inspiring to be in the room when you are presenting. And as I've said to you a number of times you have hired amazing people and have led a great team. Pyramid is all about the amazing people we have of which you are one. And I suspect you are likely to be inducted into the Pyramid Hall of Fame. Remember - you will always be family! Onward."

    John

  • "5 stars! Would work with again!"

    Karis

  • "Jill, Your professional contributions have been exceptional, though what I am most grateful for is the genuine heart you’ve brought to our team. The presence and compassion you carry into each interaction, each opportunity, each challenge has been transformational. I will miss you and know we all will, though I'm excited to stay connected and for your next chapter of rooting in Portland."

    Anne

  • "Jill is the best presenter, the best teacher, and the best advocate. Jill demonstrates every day what it means to be thoughtful and intentional—in her project work, her leadership on the management team, and how she shows up for her coworkers, clients, and community. Jill keeps everyone’s best interests at heart, and doesn’t lose sight of what’s right even when things get tough. Jill has made Pyramid better. "

    Alex

  • "I love you, Jill! Your excellence is so big across so many things — big excellent heart, big excellent pragmatism, big excellent thoughtfulness and thorough consideration. You’ve taught me and so many other people an immense amount just by showing up as you do, as an advocate and a diplomatic thinker. And you’ve given Pyramid and everybody in it such important gifts of your time, energy, and determination to continue building structures that support people and culture across the firm."

    Lizzie

  • "I'm so grateful to have you as a friend and mentor. I'm not sure I've ever learned so much from one singular person. You've been so generous with your knowledge and your compassion, always sharing opportunities and credit in a way that truly allowed me to grow.  As we both move on from Pyramid, I'm excited to see where our paths take us. And to meet up in either one of our cities to talk about it."

    Sarah

  • "Jill, my Pyramid Buddy and eastern Washington gal! I so cherish the time that we worked together. You always brought a sense of calm, curiosity, and intention to our website work. Everything I know now about website strategy I owe to your example of steady leadership. I like to think that at some point our paths crossed down in Walla Walla, maybe in a grocery store or the movie theater. Or maybe we were just destined to meet at Pyramid, but either way I’m so glad we met when we did. I’m so excited for your next adventure and will be glad to have a friend in Portland."

    Adanna

  • "Jill is great! 100002/10. Just a great charcter and light on the Pyramid team and beyond! Love the spunk and energy she brings! Jill will do incredible things on her next journey!"

    Aaron

  • "I cannot overstate how much you impacted my time at Pyramid. You’ve always been such a grounding presence. Whether it’s been working through a challenging project or navigating my professional development, you’ve shared your brilliance and always brought clarity and direction to my otherwise chaotic mental processing. I’m so excited for your next phase and look forward to keeping up with the kitty chronicles on IG. Hope our paths cross again!"

    Lauren

  • "Jill, you are truly a light and I'm grateful to have gotten to know you in this short time! Your self-assuredness, leadership, and kindness shine through everything you do. Anywhere you go will truly be so so, so lucky to have you on board. We will miss you!"

    Andrea

  • "Jill, You are an incredibly amazing individual. Your unique blend of very strategic advice, client education, kindness and humility impressed me on the first day I worked with you.I wish I had had more opportunities to work with you over the years! I know that your team benefited from the heartfelt style of management you bring, and it’s rippled out. You helped make Pyramid a warmer, kinder place so thank you. You were pondering translatable skills, and…uh…these you can take anywhere! BTW, you will always have the best wallpaper in my book. Warm wishes, and I hope to connect with you sometime in PDX."

    Denise

  • "Jill, I’m sad that we weren’t able to work on any projects together! But in the short time, thank you for showing so much empathy and great leadership. Good luck on your new journey! Also excited to hang out as Portland neighbors :)"
