Jill Suskind is a project manager at California Consulting. Ten years ago, after retiring from a 30-year career as a high school English teacher, she turned her skills, talents, and expertise to grant writing. She began this second career writing foundation grants, and now writes local, state, and government grants. Jill has secured millions of dollars in grant funding for a variety of projects–providing English tutoring to adult immigrants here and abroad, Head Start programs for impoverished communities, installing facility-hardening measures against hate crimes, and more. Jill is driven by her commitment to advocating for organizations, agencies, and institutions–to give a powerful voice to the problems they solve and the people and issues that matter to them and to secure the funding they need to fulfill their mission.
Jill graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, earning her undergraduate education degree, and pursued graduate studies at the University of Maryland at College Park and Cambridge College, earning her master’s degree in education.
Jill is an avid swimmer and a budding runner. She serves clients at California Consulting from her home in Massachusetts.
