English Major, Professional Writing Minor
Senior, Class of 2022

Jackie started her sophomore year with BCVoice as a staff writer. She assumed the role of web editor her junior year.

One of my favorite things about being a part of BCVoice are the chances I get to write about stories that matter to the Bridgewater College community. I enjoy meeting people, hearing their stories and sharing them in a professional style of writing through the web platform.
