About Jill Draper
I am an experienced senior human resources professional who offers career coaching to early-career talent, seasoned professionals, and individuals exploring a career pivot. Drawing on my own experiences with career change and transition management, I help clients gain clarity, confidence, and direction as they navigate their next steps. My extensive background in manufacturing has fostered a deep appreciation for the skilled trades and the vital role they play in a strong workforce. I am especially devoted to supporting transitioning service members and veterans as they identify meaningful, well-aligned career opportunities. I believe effective career development is about finding the right role at the right time - one that empowers individuals to grow, contribute, and reach the next level of their professional journey.
