Jackie attended Sarge Athletics for nearly a decade and has a deep passion for personal fitness, which she incorporates into her coaching philosophy. She is an accomplished athlete with a rich history in sports, having been a multi-sport varsity athlete in high school and a former track athlete at the College of William & Mary. Her passion for athletics has not only shaped her own career but also inspired a love for sports in her family. All five of her children played collegiate soccer (four at the Division I level), with four advancing to play professionally.

With a strong passion for working with youth, Jackie has been an integral part of FC Frederick since 2003. She became the Club's third Academy Director in 2016, leading player development programs and coaching young athletes from U5 to U12. She has also served as the Head Coach for the 14U Club Champions United Girls team at the Rey Cup in Iceland (2023 & 2024).

Her contributions to the sport extend beyond the Club, as she has been a Board member of the United Soccer Coaches Foundation and the Maryland State Youth Soccer Association Board since 2016. In recognition of her impact on the local soccer community, she was inducted into the Frederick County Soccer Hall of Fame in 2019.
