Jill Sligay obtained her Bachelors in Business from the University of Detroit Mercy and her Masters Degree in Global Commerce from Norwich University. She has broad experience in the public and private sector, having worked in college admissions, information systems, non-profit, corporate purchasing and electronics manufacturing. Originally from Detroit, she has lived overseas and travelled all over the United States, developing a passion for culture, food, human rights, global politics and ancient history.
