A bit about...
Jacqueline was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. She grew up idolizing Donny Osmond in the VHS production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat. Upon realizing this, her parents signed her up for soccer immediately. Jacqueline did not have much of an athletic career, as she was quickly nicknamed "smiley" by her soccer coach while other girls were given more aggressive nicknames like "the killer". She took the hint and found her way back to the arts (with the loving support of her parents).
Jacqueline received her BFA in Musical Theatre from Montclair State University graduating Magna Cum Laude. Her belief that art is the ultimate human connector fuels her passion for storytelling, and has built a career both directing and acting amongst musicals, plays and film. She’s passionate about developing new works and has been a part of numerous new adaptations and world premier theatrical productions including Small Town Story (American Theatre Group), On Time (TheaterLab), Where the Leaves Fall (The Chain) and Meet John Doe (San Jose Stage Company). She studied abroad at Imperial College in London, England and graduated from the Broadway Dance Center's Professional Semester in New York City. Jacqueline feels immensely lucky to be able to live in New York City pursuing her dreams, where she also likes to run marathons and eat killer pieces of cake.
