One of Jill’s greatest accomplishments has been bridging her passionate interest in the arts to the development of Lanartco’s unique training programs. She credits her background in music and theater as giving her the tools for clear speech, active listening and dynamic presentation techniques, all integral elements of Lanartco’s Act On It!^SM methodology. Her musical ear has equipped her with a keen ability to identify the effectiveness and appropriateness of pitch and rhythm patterns in one’s speech.

Jill holds a Master of Arts in Education from Lesley University where she focused on integrating the arts into education through Lesley’s Creative Arts in Learning program. After graduate school and before becoming a business owner, Jill used her music and theatre background to develop arts-based curriculums in the areas of language, accent reduction and communication skills and was an instructor at a variety of universities and institutes including Pace University, Boston University and The World Trade Institute. Jill has appeared in lectures and workshops in Brasil and has trained professionals in Europe, the United States, India and South America. She continues to bring her enthusiasm to her train-the-trainer programs ensuring that all of Lanartco’s facilitators are Act On It!^SM certified.
