Jill was born and raised in Houston, Texas. She was fortunate to experience many of the wonderful attributes of what makes Texas great, a strong education, economic opportunity and the beauty of the coat. As a child, she knew being an educator was her passion and in her future, she worked diligently toward that goal, graduating from Texas State University, Magna Cum Laude, with a degree in Elementary Education. Upon graduation, she moved to Cypress, Texas to teach 1st grade in Cy-Fair ISD. Jill later returned to the Austin area to marry Bradley Westmoreland where she continued her teaching career until the birth of their twin sons. Since then, she has been involved in many leadership and philanthropic roles for organizations including Young Life, Women Doing Well, Christ Church of Austin and most recently BCISD School Board among others.
