Jackie grew up on the East Coast and earned her Bachelor of Arts in Business Management with a minor in Psychology from the University of Georgia. She spent a decade working to promote community inclusion, independent living skills, and family support as a case manager for adults with disabilities. After exploring adult support, she became passionate about providing services at an earlier stage of development and returned to school to earn her Master of Occupational Therapy degree from the University of Washington.
Before joining the team at Northwest Center, Jackie worked in school settings focused on providing creative motor and sensory supports to increase student access to education. She feels a strong connection to the family-centered support provided by Northwest Center, and enthusiastically took the opportunity to join the team in early 2018.
In her free time, Jackie enjoys spending time with her dogs, trying new foods, and exploring Seattle.
