Jackie was born and raised in Texas and has been settled here in DFW since graduating college in 2010. She went to Stephen F. Austin State University and received a Bachelor of Science degree in Sports Medicine Kinesiology and minored in Psychology. She has been in the healthcare field since high school and continued that after college. Jackie maintained a career as a physician recruiter for 12 years before making a transition into mental health. Being that she has always been an advocate for mental health, helping those to seek a new legacy and recovery spoke right to her heart. When she’s not working or volunteering, Jackie enjoys spending time with her dog (a retired racing greyhound), hiking, playing sand volleyball or kickball, and listening to live music.
