Hi, I’m Jackie- just Jackie because when my mom named me she had no idea Jackie was a nickname for the full name Jacqueline. So, fun fact, I am just Jackie and I love being just Jackie!

My whole life I have been obsessed with stories. Whether that’s getting invested in TV shows and binge-watching every season, cuddling with my cat while reading a fantasy book series, or constantly replaying my favorite movies at the expense of annoying my older sister— I love keeping up with a good story.

When it came to my story, however, I was lost. My whole life it felt like I just had to follow the predictable route of being a doctor or engineer. Lots of boring schooling that was super predictable. But I wanted something that involved the things I loved my whole life: storytelling.

Advertising was perfect because I get to not only learn about what successful, creative storytelling looks like broadly, but every day is unpredictable. What universal truth will I get to learn about next? What key insight can I develop that will spearhead the most creative yet? I love advertising and being a strategist because I get to learn about so many unique stories and tell them to others. I hope that my storytelling can reach the hearts of many consumers.

p.s., Here are some pictures of my cat named Stroodel, like a toaster strudel but with o’s for emphasis. Also, I love crocheting, especially for gift-giving!
