After graduating from Boston University with a degree in Communications, Jillian began her career as an event manager, communication director, and grant writer in the nonprofit sector before dabbling (at first) in the wine industry beginning in 2007. She has since worked nearly every role in hospitality, sales, and marketing, and now leads a talented team of professionals at Beaux Frères winery as VP of Sales and Marketing. Her personal interests center around being in nature with her husband, along with “several” dogs and two goats. She is an avid vinyl record collector with nearly 1,000 albums covering the gamut of American music history and beyond.
