Founder story
I’m Jill, founder of The Alluvia Path—a career coach with insider compensation and HR leadership experience.
I help professionals navigate high-stakes career moves—pivots, promotions, and negotiations—with strategy grounded in how internal decisions are actually made.
Before HR, I spent nearly 20 years as a veterinary technician specializing in exotic, avian, and zoo medicine, then 8 years leading a vet tech college program. In 2016, I made my own major pivot into HR—so career reinvention is lived experience, not theory.
Within eight years, I advanced to Senior Director of HR Operations and Total Rewards, led a high-performing team, and helped design a benefits plan ranked Best in Class. Today, I coach clients using practical insight into pay ranges, negotiation room, and how offer decisions get approved behind closed doors.
“Leverage starts with clarity—when you know your value and understand the decision process, you negotiate from a position of strength.”
