Jill Winfield is an Anthropology major at Loyola University, in Chicago, considering also declaring a minor in Islamic World Studies. To Jill, college is a journey of self-discovery and intense learning. She looks up to anyone who has completed that difficult journey and graduated with a degree. Outside of school, Martial Arts is most important to Jill. She first felt drawn to karate in elementary school, and it has shaped her life, giving her leadership skills as well as the physical and mental skills that Martial Arts instills in its pupils.

Jill loves to walk along Lake Michigan singing along to her iPod. “It's my time to unwind from so much homework,” she says. “It's so peaceful and beautiful.”
