Jillian Chandler is the editor in chief for our Like Media publications. Before joining Like Media, she was a writer and editor for Sizzle magazine for 10 years prior to Like Media acquiring the publication in the summer of 2016. She was hired soon after and has been a wonderful addition to our staff. With a degree in journalism and a minor in English from San Diego State University, Jillian's talent benefits all of our clients. 

 

Jillian moved to Coeur d'Alene in July of 2006 and shares that she is grateful to live in—and be a part of—a small town with strong family values. "Growing up in the beautiful mountain town of South Lake Tahoe, California, I always knew I wanted to live somewhere that had a strong sense of community," she says. 

 

She is married (to a chef!) and has three young boys, which keeps their household active with karate classes and swim lessons, as well as soccer practices and games. And of course, lots of noise. When she does have spare time, Jillian enjoys taking the boys on walks and hikes, going to the lake and being in the outdoors enjoying all the natural beauty North Idaho has to offer. 

 

"It is so important to get to know your local businessmen and women, local organizations and nonprofits, and your community as a whole in order to have a better appreciation for where we live and the people who make our communities the wonderful places they are," she says. "It is nice to be able to put a face to a name, to get to know the people within our communities."
