BOARD VICE PRESIDENT, ACTING TREASURER, LOGISTICS CHAIR

What’s your “why” for joining SCHT? I spent 20 years of my career as a management consultant - always doing new things and finding the next best practice. So helping the start of SC Home Tour appeals to my interest in tackling new opportunities. It certainly helps that the results go straight to support my kids’ schools.

BOARD SECRETARY, VOLUNTEER CHAIR

What’s your “why” for joining SCHT? When I first heard about the San Clemente Home Tour, I knew I wanted to be involved. As a parent of 3 kids who have all gone through San Clemente schools, supporting this community is especially meaningful to me.

I’ve spent much of my career in project management and operations with large corporations and I hope to bring that experience to the next home tour!

BOARD DIRECTOR, MARKET CHAIR

BOARD DIRECTOR, DOCENT CHAIR, SPONSORSHIP

What’s your “why” for joining SCHT? Hi, I’m Jill Mitzev—a real estate professional by trade and a community supporter at heart. I’m excited to be volunteering for the 2025 San Clemente Home Tour to give back to the town I love and help support our incredible local schools. When I’m not helping people find their perfect homes, I’m usually organizing something, pitching in, or admiring one of our amazing local views. I believe in strong foundations—whether in real estate or education—and I’m proud to be part of an event that celebrates both.

WEBSITE CHAIR, PARTIES

What’s your “why” for joining SCHT? As a local interior designer in San Clemente, I’m passionate about the unique style and character that defines our town. Though I grew up in a small beach town in Rhode Island, San Clemente's coastal charm and tight-knit community make it feel like home.

I love this town and want to give back to the place that’s given me so much. Joining the Home Tour Committee is a way to celebrate our beautiful homes while contributing to the continued growth and heart of San Clemente. I’m excited to share my design perspective and be part of something that uplifts our community.

LOGISTICS

What’s your “why” for joining SCHT? I joined the SC Home Tour team to help give back to the public schools in San Clemente. My husband and I have three kids in three different San Clemente schools.  We have been very pleased with our kids’ public school education experiences so far, and know that each campus deserves more money per student than what they’re getting. I try to live by the ‘Think Globally, Act Locally’ concept.  I’ve been enjoying the SC Garden Tour for many years and when I was approached to help with the SC Home Tour, I gladly joined, knowing it would be with an amazing group of local business owners! 

CHECK-IN, BREAKFAST/LUNCHEON

What’s your “why” for joining SCHT? I initially visited SCHT for the chance to spend more time with friends, but I quickly came to appreciate—and wanted to be part of—the greater mission: bringing the community together to celebrate local businesses, San Clemente’s distinctive architecture and design, and to support our public schools. Along the way, I also discovered that SCHT is made up of an incredible and talented group of volunteers.

DOCENT, SPONSORSHIP

What’s your “why” for joining SCHT? Home Owner and Realtor in San Clemente for over 20 years. Love this town, community, and all the long-standing traditions. Excited to volunteer and see the beautiful homes on tour. Looking forward to giving back to this Community that I cherish while raising money for the local schools that helped support and shape who my kids are today.

ACCOUNTING / TICKETING COMMITTEE

What’s your “why” for joining SCHT? The SCHT is a creative way to get involved in our community and increase funding for our local students. I  come from a family of educators and have a middle schooler at Vista Del Mar and see the value in supplementing public education as best we can. 

VOLUNTEER SUPPORT

What’s your “why” for joining SCHT? What a great way to get involved in our community and get to know other like-minded women who share similar interests, and helping out our local schools is just the cherry on top! I'm a huge advocate for supporting our local schools! Sign me up!

SPONSORSHIP

What’s your “why” for joining SCHT? The reason I’m thrilled to join the San Clemente Housing Tour is simple: it’s all about supporting our incredible schools! As a former public middle school teacher and a dedicated volunteer in San Clemente schools and foundations for 13 years, I’ve seen firsthand how deeply our community invests in its kids. Our schools are 100% committed to shaping young minds, and that’s what makes San Clemente shine. Both of my kids have grown up in San Clemente and are thriving Because of this beautiful village! San Clemente kids grow into amazing individuals who give back and make our town even better. It’s a full-circle celebration of education, community, and the future! #onetownoneteam.
