To enlighten and entertain through story by holding a mirror up to nature.

Jacquelyn started writing when she was a young girl. She started acting when she was in high school. Over the years, she has held a variety of paying jobs that never quite satisfied her creativity. It seems she has spent her entire life struggling to become what she already was.

While living in San Francisco, she performed in many plays in the Bay Area. Jacquelyn graduated Magna Cum Laude with a BA in Theatre Arts from San Francisco State in 1995.

In 1999, she moved to Monte Rio, California and shortly started working with Pegasus Theater Company in The Russian River. From January 2008 to March 2009 she was the Artistic Director. At Pegasus, she has acted in eight productions and directed four.

When she's not acting or writing, Jacquelyn loves to travel, read, and enjoy bahl gorm and frattey. *
