Jill Dodson

Jill is originally from a small Swedish town in Central California called Kingsburg. She was raised here and attended the same high school as her grandparents, parents, and brothers. After graduating from California State University Fresno with a BS degree in Marketing, she worked for a company for 12 years that sold software to government environmental health agencies nationwide. With this position, she was able to travel all around the USA which sparked her lifelong love of travel. Back in 2013, an opportunity to move to DFW presented itself and Jill felt that this was the time to experience life outside of her home state of California. Moving to McKinney Texas brought her closer to the "Texas Dodsons" - Jill's brother and family. Throughout the 2000s, Jill's "spark" was lit and her passion for travel greatly increased. As a result, Jill spends as much time as possible traveling internationally. Here are some of her favorite experiences:
