Jill is a paramedic, a wilderness medical instructor, business owner, and an absolute shredder on a snowboard!
She graduated the Adventure Guide Program in 2020. Jill originally wanted to pursue a path as a mountain guide. After completing the Wilderness First Responder course with the Adventure program, she discovered and developed a passion for wilderness medicine “a world I had no idea existed until my time at TRU” Jill shared.
Jill will be instructing our incoming certificate student’s 80-hour Wilderness First Responder course this Fall! In the meantime, if you need a wilderness medicine certification or recert, get in touch with Mountain Med Consulting today!

What is your career highlight?
Being able to integrate my two passions; medicine and the outdoors. This inspired the creation of Mountain Med. My company specializes in designing customized wilderness first aid courses tailored to environments that you work and play in.
What is an experience or memorable trip you would like to share?
Journeying down the Grand Canyon with my parents. Thanks to the friendships created in the program, I had the privilege of sharing such a special adventure with my mom and dad, even though they had never slept in a tent before our 21-day expedition!
What key insights or advice can you share with our students?
Approach the program with an open mind. Explore all its facets, learn about various career paths, and discover the diverse places it could lead you. Understand your values, goals, and passions and say yes to every opportunity that aligns with that.
