Jackie’s interest in education was sparked after serving as an instructional aid for students with special needs. Inspired by the students’ perseverance in the face of adversity and their teachers’ dedication to support them as they overcame challenges, she returned to college herself and completed an undergraduate degree in English. Upon completion in 2021, Jackie and her family moved from a quaint river town in Pennsylvania to the picturesque Midcoast of Maine. In the recent past, she enjoyed working at the Lincoln County News as an ad designer and marketing coordinator, where she also had the opportunity to write articles for the newspaper and Lincoln County Magazine. In her free time, Jackie enjoys songwriting, performing, and outdoor adventuring with her husband, Justin, and three sons – Daniel, Caleb and Arlo.
