Jill ran Sona Books for ten years, she was a Lower Manhattan Cultural Council writer-in-residence, and an artist in residence with the Textile Arts Center in Brooklyn. She has taught at the City College of New York, The Eugene Lang College, Goddard College, and the MFA programs at School of the Art Institute of Chicago and Columbia College Chicago.
