We at Elite think our staff are pretty awesome and want to give you the pleasure to get to know them as well!  Meet Jillian.

1. What do you do for Elite? I’m an estoppel researcher!
2. What do you love most about your job? I love the element of discovery; I feel like I’ve sort of toured most of Florida during my time here.
3. Do you have any hobbies? Nothing I do consistently. I used to crochet every winter, but we don’t really have winter down here like Chicago, so scarves and blankets aren’t as useful. I had a whole glass cutting phase, so I repurposed a lot of glass bottles for awhile. Everyone got dreamcatchers for every gift-giving event for about a year. I’ve been a little obsessed with learning how to roller-skate, so that’s probably next.
4. Do you volunteer anywhere? No.
5. What is something you will absolutely never eat? I actually graduated from culinary school, so there’s really nothing I don’t eat anymore. I used to say brussels sprouts, but I think that’s just because of how my mom made them when I was a kid…
6. What was your first concert? Stevie Ray Vaughan. I was itty bitty, but still super annoyed that he never looked up at the crowd. (I didn’t understand the intricacies of guitar playing, at the time.)
7. What is your favorite family tradition? My mom’s birthday is 3 days after mine, so we have a whole birthday week of cake and festivities.
8. Which store would you max out your credit card? If I’m splurging, it’s a tie between Michaels and Books-A-Million. In reality, I max it out at the grocery store all the time. (For fun, I promise.)
9. What was your first job? My first (documented) job was as a snake handler and tour guide at a reptile zoo, but the summer before that I was a pony handler for a company that did pony rides at parties.
10. How do you like your eggs? I’m a sucker for a sous vide egg. (It’s like a cross between poached and soft boiled)
11. Coke or Pepsi? Coffee.
12. What is your favorite holiday? First day of spring.
13. What is something that you cannot live without? Glitter.
