CFRE is the only accredited certification for fundraising professionals and is recognized as the global standard for fundraising professionalism. "I'm so grateful to achieve this goal and share my verified achievement from CFRE International. The CFRE is the only globally recognized, accredited credential for fundraising professionals," Jill stated.

In order to earn the CFRE credential, one must complete a minimum of 80 of continuing education over a five-year period, work a minimum of 36 months in a paid professional fundraising role over a five-year period, document success in fundraising and fundraising management, attest to being knowledgeable of and abiding by the International Standards of Ethical Principles in Fundraising and any laws regulating fundraising, and successfully pass the CFRE exam, which is a comprehensive test covering best practices in ethical fundraising. Jill currently serves as Development Director at CSU, a position she has held since June of 2019. Prior to that, she was the Director of Development for CSU's College of Letters & Sciences. Jill earned a B.App.Sci. in environmental science/management from James Cook University in 1999. In 2022, she earned an MSOL in servant leadership from the Turner College.
