About our teacher, Jill Linares:

I’m retired from American Airlines in 2023 after 38 years of service. I’ve been at Temple Emanu-El since 1996 (or maybe 1997). My kids are grown and on their own, employed and happily living in Chula Vista. I’m fluent in American Sign Language and workout 2 or 3 days a week. Best thing about me is my 12 year old dog Pumpkin.
