Cotting School Welcomes New Addition to Board of Trustees
Dr. Jennifer St. Hill joins already robust board of special education school
Cotting School announced today the addition of a new member to its board of trustees. The School, which serves children with special needs ages 3-22, happily welcomed Jennifer St. Hill, Ph.D., to its already robust and influential board.
Jennifer currently serves as the VP of Marketing Planning and Operations at CrowdStrike, a cybersecurity technology company based in Austin, TX. She brings over twenty years of expertise in maximizing operational efficiency, innovative problem-solving and achieving revenue objectives to the Cotting community. Dr. St. Hill’s leadership experience and background in marketing and strategic planning will strengthen the School’s ability to reach out to traditionally underserved populations and magnify its advocacy on behalf of the disability community. She holds a bachelor of science degree in chemistry from the University of Richmond and received her Ph.D. in biochemistry from MIT.
Cotting School President Bridget Irish remarked, “Our leaders, staff, students and families are extremely happy to have Jennifer become a trustee. With her leadership skills and ability to bring a vision to fruition, we are fortunate to have her on board as Cotting continues to grow and excel.”
“Few organizations speak to the heart of helping children and young adults with special needs like Cotting School,” said St. Hill. “Its history and institutional knowledge and vision for what special education can and should look like set Cotting apart, I am inspired every day by what happens in these halls and am honored to be a part of the future.”
