Jillian has joined The Hurst Company, LLC as a sales associate, bringing a fresh perspective to commercial real estate. She earned her degree from the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Nursing and Health Studies, launching a career as a registered nurse caring for oncology patients at KU Hospital.

She now brings that experience and the same dedication to her new path in commercial real estate. Her nursing background taught her to listen closely, solve problems under pressure, and put people first—skills that translate naturally to helping clients buy, sell, and lease commercial property.

Jillian is excited to bring her work ethic, compassion, and fresh energy to The Hurst Company, continuing a legacy built on trust while writing her next chapter.


In her spare time, she enjoys being with her family and friends, especially her dog Remi, exercising and pickleball.
