Hey, I'm Jaclyn
I'm the candidate you're looking for.
I'm admittedly also a Star Wars fan.
I've spent over a decade in low-income schools supporting students in special education. During that time I also was drawn to building up colleagues as a mentor teacher and department chair. Realizing how much I loved working with other professionals to grow in their career is what lead me to the instructional design field.
At my core, I am a person who loves making others feel confident throughout the learning process so they can develop skills to achieve their goals. I'd love to chat about why my unique experience, collaborative nature, and effective design skills would be an asset to your organization's learning and development team.
This photo is from the sideview mirror of my car at Saguaro National Park. Just like my photography, I bring a fresh, unique perspective to learning and development teams.
Community Impact
I believe in the concept that “small steps can make a huge impact!” I advocate for community involvement in an area of interest to help build up your hometown. Below are a few organizations I have and continue to support locally here in the Phoenix metro area.
2017-2020 Arizona Children’s THRIVE Mentor: Program for teens aging out of foster care
2020-present Arizona Border Collie Rescue - Foster home
Favorite local charity: Arizona Helping Hands supporting foster care families
Fun Randomness
I love to travel to new places near and far. I enjoy keeping my culinary skills fresh by watching cooking videos or going to classes. Rescued is my favorite breed of dog and below are pictures of my three pups: Zoey, Piper, and Cole. I'm a hobbyist photographer and the pictures on this website are all my own work.
I'm an old soul who collects vinyl records from thrift shops. My collection is mostly jazz, swing, and anything nostalgic that reminds me of cleaning on Saturday mornings with my mom. Ask me about my favorite album!
