About
Hi, I am Jillian!
I’m a 23-year-old creative based in New York City with a passion for digital storytelling and audience connection. Ever since I picked up my first iPod touch in fourth grade, I’ve been drawn to creating content that resonates with others. Throughout my teenage years, I found comfort and inspiration in watching YouTube videos and following social media creators. I also began making my own videos and writing about trips I took with family and friends — sparking what felt like a genuine "purpose".
I earned my bachelor’s degree in Global Media Studies with a minor in Communication from the University of Arizona. Along the way, I’ve interned at entertainment marketing firms, collaborated with small business entrepreneurs on social media strategy, and built my own content just for the love of it.

Real strategy for the scroll generation.
Every time we open our phones, we’re being sold something. I work with soulful brands and creators who want strategy without losing their voice. In a digital world full of noise, authenticity is power. My mission is creating social media discourse that feels like a conversation—not an ad.
