Most recently, she worked in native ecosystem restoration, where she worked to restore the health of Michigan native wildlife. She is a big fan of everyone using their unique skills and passions to serve their community in whatever way they can.

Jacqueline spends her free time exploring Michigan trees with her dog, roller blading, and playing games.
