Jill Killen

Jill owns Cloud City Coffee, a long-standing pillar of community in Seattle, Washington. She started roasting in 2019, providing meticulous and small batch offerings via Cloud City Coffee Roasting. 

She has been active in SCA since 2012 in various roles, including being a member of the Brew Crew (brewing committee), an SCA Lead Instructor and a licensed Q Grader. She has volunteered many times as a competition judge, product judge, station instructor and instructor. Knowing that a US chapter was long overdue, she was honored to be elected in 2019 and has volunteered to remain an extra year to ensure a smooth transition. She worked primarily on the marketing and communications team, where she played a small role in expanding and explaining exactly what the USA Chapter was and why it existed (and also helped amplify the diversity of the US coffee community). 

She lives in Seattle with her wife, two daughters, and two cats .
