Jillian started taking mommy and me classes at Arena Gymnastics (Gymland) in Trenton, NJ and has been there ever since. She started competing level 6 in 2015 where she placed first in the all-around and first on balance beam at the State Championships. She broke New Jersey state record for highest balance beam and all-around scores. Jillian moved up to level 7 for the 2016 season, finishing second in the all-around and first on balance beam at the State Championships. Jillian once again broke New Jersey state record on balance beam with a 9.825. Jillian was named to America's Top 100 on balance beam.

In 2017 as a level 8 gymnast, Jillian finished third in the all-around with a 37.425, first on balance beam and fourth on floor exercise at the State Championships. Jillian broke New Jersey record again on balance beam with a 9.700 and was a member of New Jersey State Team. She qualified to the Region 7 Championships where she placed second in the all-around with a 37.525, first on balance beam and fifth on floor exercise. Jillian moved up to level 9 for the 2018 season. She placed first in the all-around and third on uneven bars and balance beam at the State Championships. At the Region 7 Championships, Jillian placed eighth in the all-around and first on balance beam with a 9.550. She was the first alternate for the Level 9 Eastern Nationals.

During the 2019 season, Jillian was sidelined due to a knee injury. In 2020, Jillian returned to compete level 9 qualifying for the NJ State Championships. Unfortunately the 2020 season was cut short due to COVID-19 pandemic. During quarantine, Jillian participated in online training with her teammates returning to the gym in July 2020. Jillian is currently a level 10 gymnast. Due to Covid restrictions participation in meets are limited. Jillian continues to train 20-25 hours a week.

Jillian trains 20-25 hours per week at Arena Gymnastics (Gymland) in Hamilton, NJ under coaches Ann and Valdi Kolasa. She is working hard to qualify to the Junior Olympic Nationals. Her long-term goal is to compete for a Division I college gymnastics team.
