Idaho Editor, Politics Guru
Jill Kuraitis
Passionate about: Boise, education, kids, books, politics, dogs, great coffee, and Boise.
Jill grew up on California's central coast in a family that pretended to camp and hike but were better at rescuing baby birds and rehabbing earthworms. She’s old enough to have ridden a horse to school and tied him to the fence, and to have seen the Grateful Dead the first time around. A University of California, Santa Barbara graduate in theatre management, she worked in the movie and TV industry before moving to Boise 21 years ago with her husband, toddler son and daughter in utero. Convinced that Boise is the best place to live in the known universe, she’s been writing ever since for advertising and public relations, political, and alternative-press clients. She’s raised two fine children who refuse to live anywhere but the West, gardens haphazardly but successfully, and adores her husband of 26 years. Jill founded and runs a group of western quilters who refuse to follow rules or attend committee meetings. Their seams don't match, but that's the way they like it.
