Hi there, I'm Jill and a member of the class of 2008. I work in finance for Fidelity Investments. I recently relocated to Rhode Island from the Boston area. I'm always happy to connect with Brandeis students and alums and I'm regularly recruiting for new positions for those looking to enter the field. I'd love to connect with fellow Rhode Island-based alumni.
