Hello! Thank you for visiting. My name is Jackie and I am originally from Atlanta, Georgia. Throughout my childhood, I've always had a passion for writing, the ocean and much more. I slowly made my way west to Austin, Texas for high school, and finally, to Southern California for college and to fulfill my goal of learning more about the ocean.

California has been a true adventure, both professionally and personally. I am thankful to have had so many excellent opportunities to hone my craft through the art of storytelling.
