  Jill Teeters 

  Associate Director of College Counseling

  Ext. 2306

  Bio

  After a career of more than twenty years in college admission, Jill Teeters joined the Derryfield College Counseling Office in 2017. She received her B.S in Speech Communication from Ithaca College and her M.A. in Speech Communication Studies from Emerson College, with an original goal of becoming a college professor. A stint as a tour guide as an undergraduate, and an internship in the admission office in graduate school, piqued her interest in connecting with high school students and helping them find the right college fit. Jill has held a variety of volunteer leadership positions with the New England Association for College Admission Counseling and has served as an adjunct faculty member at local colleges. She is also a regular presenter on college admission topics for NHHEAF’s Center for College Planning. Outside of education, Jill is a long-time volunteer with the March of Dimes and her family served as the 2014 National Ambassador Family for the organization - traveling across the country and sharing their premature birth story. In addition, Jill sings with Northern Voices A Cappella, a women’s show chorus and her quartet, Paradigm. She lives in Manchester with her husband, David Lamothe, their son, Aidan, and their cat, Sophie (who thinks she is a dog).
