Jacqueline is a veteran actress from Dallas, Texas, starting her career in regional theatre before heading off to Hollywood and New York City, where she studied with famed method acting advocate Paul Mann and the Moscow Art Theatre acting technique with Yale School of Drama Dean, Lloyd Richards. She made the most of it while spending time on both coasts by appearing in multiple theatrical productions as well as making several television appearances. She then turned her theatrical talents toward directing, eventually putting 32 productions on the boards while winning numerous accolades for her directing, including five Drama-Logue Critics Awards.

Also a highly sought after acting teacher and coach, teaching her successful Professional Actors Workshop in the Los Angeles area for over three decades, before becoming a Senior Faculty Member at the prestigious American Academy of Dramatic Arts, West. She eventually became Artistic Director of her own professional drama school, The South Bay Actors Circle, where she exclusively taught her own original technique that she meticulously honed over the years.

She was also a founding member and one of the original board of directors for the Angels Gate Cultural Arts Center in San Pedro California, where she helped to secure part of the Old Fort MacArthur military base from the City of LA to create an "all arts campus" in an effort to help nurture and promote the Arts to thrive within Los Angeles with the hopes that it may inspire and enlighten many generations to come.

Her charitable endeavors has taken her talents of teaching drama to inner city youths as well as her 10 year association with Nosotros, the oldest Latino arts advocacy organization which helps give Latinos a stronger voice in the entertainment industry. For several years she taught acting at the Nosotros Theatre in Hollywood, before going on to direct their first three award winning theatrical productions, which helped to revive the organizations status within the industry. For her efforts she received a special award honoring her contributions to the advancement of the Latino actor, presented to her by Nosotros founder and Hollywood legend Ricardo Montalban at their annual Golden Eagle Award ceremony.

Jacqueline also has talents in screenwriting, where she has penned three feature length scripts, and in 2019, realized her dream of producing one of them, where she also got to add to her impressive resume, the credit of "film director".
