Meet Jill Nalepa, Project Manager with a2z, in our ongoing Meet the Team series. Click to view slideshow. Q. How would you describe yourself? I’m a mother of four so I’m comfortable adjusting to any situation and don’t get flustered easily when faced with unexpected challenges. I like terrible sci-fi movies (think Sharknado and anything that has a mega in the movie title) Most of all I like to have fun and take joy in the success of others.
