Jayme's Bio

As a youth at 4-H summer camp, Jayme’s world opened up to environment, sustainability, and community issues. She learned the importance of education and shared perspectives.

Jayme loves watching people’s faces light up when they make important connections, and see the world in a new way. It starts with the opportunity to explore and discover. That’s the promise behind every sunrise and the reason Jayme wakes up every morning.

Jill has been with Inside Education since 2008. In those days you could find her leading students through Alberta’s forests, co-chairing youth summits, and learning alongside amazing teachers.

After a brief hiatus, Jill hung up her hiking boots and began working behind the scenes as our Operations Manager.
