Meet Jackie
Jackie knew she wanted to enter education when her First Grade teacher helped her develop short story booklets for her family members, of which she wrote many. She went on to study Secondary English Education, and during her time as an undergrad, she developed and taught a social-emotional curriculum for elementary students; conducted financial literacy events for high schoolers; and taught GED and ESL to adults. After graduation, Jackie moved to New York City and taught 9th Grade ELA for a couple of years before finally landing in Seattle.
As a person and educator, Jackie is empathetic, driven, forgiving, and intentional. Her diverse experiences in education have given her so much appreciation for the importance of individualized support. In New York, half of her students had IEPs, which she used to inform her curriculum and one-on-one instructional time. She loved getting to know each student and their unique needs. “I have always been passionate about meeting students—of any age, subject or learning needs—exactly where they are at, in order to help them achieve their unique educational goals.”
Outside of work, Jackie enjoys reading, hiking, frequenting The Egyptian theater, and working on her first novel in a local coffee shop.
