Jill Dorfman, professionally known as Jill Martin, graduated from Plainview-Old Bethpage JFK High School in 1994. She was president of her class during all four years in high school and was responsible for getting the high school together and merging the community on a student level. She also played varsity basketball for Plainview.

After graduating from POB High School, Jill went to the University of Michigan where she majored in communications and received her bachelor of arts degree. She landed a job on the The Maury Povich Show, where she worked on-air doing fashion reporting and makeovers.

After a year and a half, Jill received the opportunity of a lifetime and one she had always been working toward - her own show.

WAMI, a Miami station, gave Jill her own show on which she did live cut ins from all of the hottest parties and interviewed celebrities. This was her first real, full-time, on-air job. Although Jill was doing fashion reporting, her true passion was in sports.

From there, Jill got a job with the NBA basketball team, the Miami Heat, as host of a new show called Heat TV, which runs throughout the American Airlines Arena, on the video screens and 400 other television sets within the facility. The show is a vehicle for the fans to get a behind-the-scenes look at the players' lives. Jill does celebrity interviews that are in the audience, and also holds and competes in shoot out contests.

Having been spotted on Heat TV, Jill got a job on Good Morning America, which tapes in New York. She was forced to commute between Miami and New York to continue both jobs. Jill worked alongside show hosts Diane Sawyer and Charles Gibson on Good Morning America and did fashion reporting for a year and a half. She did such segments as "How to get the hottest looks on a budget." She was then offered a full-time position in Miami, eliminating the commute between New York and Florida. Jill has been an anchor and sports reporter for CBS in Miami since June. She now lives in Miami full-time.

Jill can be seen five days a week on CBS, doing both reporting and anchoring, and she is still doing Heat TV. Jill, who covers the Miami Heat and the Miami Dolphins for CBS, is the first female sportscaster in the market in six years.

"I always wanted to be involved in sports," said Jill during a recent interview. "I thought in terms of where I could spark the most because there are not that many women in the field and Miami is such a major market. My job is fantastic. It is an unbelievable opportunity. There is a different side of players that a woman can elicit that a man can't."

Jill got the exclusive interview with Ricky Williams, the star running back of the Miami Dolphins, after he recently announced that he suffers with social anxiety disorder. "I got the exclusive interview with him in South Florida because I think he felt most comfortable talking with a woman," she said. "We can relate more to that type of thing and it is more prevalent in women."

Although Jill's career goals include being broadcast on a national show, this is more than she ever dreamed of. "I could end here and be happy," she said.
