Jackie earned her Bachelor's degree in Biology from Cal State Long Beach and her Master's degree in Human Genetics from UCLA. Before she joined the Mathnasium team, Jackie spent 7 years conducting research on the genetic influences of autism and other childhood developmental disorders, and presented her findings at many international scientific conferences. Jackie decided to go into teaching because she loves working with kids and wanted to have a more direct, hands-on role in helping young people. In her spare time, Jackie enjoys hiking, camping, watching movies, eating chocolate, and planning adventures. Jackie believes that with a little patience and a lot of positive encouragement, all students can reach their maximum potential.
