A third-generation Northern Nevada native, Jackie grew up in Verdi/Reno, then moved to Lake Tahoe to attend Incline High School. After graduation, she attended UNR, then lived and worked in several metropolitan cities before returning to her true Tahome in Incline Village.
As a resident of Incline, she takes full advantage of life at the lake; wakeboarding in the summer and snowboarding during winter. Jackie and her husband are active members of the Incline Village Crystal Bay Business Association and she lives to serve her community.
