Jackie is passionate about using her experience to assist Living Beyond Breast Cancer increase its grant funding to continue the organization’s important programs and services for people impacted by breast cancer.
With more than 20 years of leadership in program planning and development for the higher education and nonprofit sectors, Jackie enjoys helping LBBC with grant strategy, development, and growth. She received her bachelor's degree in education and economics from the University of Pennsylvania, where she remains involved in outreach programs, and a master's degree in public policy and research from the University of Oxford as part of the Rotary International Fellowship Program.
