Jackie worked for Baltimore County Public Schools as a Physical Educator, Department Chair, Athletic Advisor, and coach for over twenty years. In her role as Department Chair, she improved, created, and managed teams of people, multiple facilities, and a myriad of curricular programs.  She successfully coached the Franklin High School girls’ lacrosse team and created community amongst her players and developed a winning team. Jackie is known as one of the most successful Middle School Athletic Directors in Baltimore. She has experience fundraising for her school, managing coaches and athletes, and operating large athletic events, including the largest archery program in the county.  In addition to Jackie’s experience working in a school setting she has also worked with Israel Lacrosse. This past summer she coached the Israel Lacrosse Women’s National team at the World Cup.

Outside of camp you can find Jackie either relaxing at home with her two dogs Castle and Lincoln, hiking, playing softball, or ballroom dancing.
