Jackie is a native Floridian, born and raised in South Florida. She attended the University of Florida where she met her husband and they have been building their life in St. Petersburg for almost a decade. Jackie previously worked full-time, through the birth of her 2 children, but when her second child turned 1, with the added stresses of the COVID pandemic, she decided to step back from working outside of the home and spend more time with her children. She did not realize how difficult it would be to make new connections outside of work or to keep fitness and personal health as a priority in this new role.
