The Details!
Growing up as a military child, it was clear from an early age that Jacqueline would not be joining the family business. As soon as she learned the word, Jacqueline proclaimed she would be an actress. At age 3, Jacqueline’s favorite movies were The Sound of Music, My Fair Lady, and West Side Story - don’t worry, her mother stopped it before the rumble - eeeh! This love of viewing quickly transformed into a passion for doing. This passion manifested in intense living room performances. Such performances included, costume changes, sets, choreography, and, of course, her first audience - her family being held captive against their will.
A pivotal shift occurred in 2016 when Jacqueline performed in her very first musical Into the Woods, Jr. as Little Red Riding Hood. This further ignited her love for performance and set her on a path dedicated to the development of her craft. She continued to perform throughout high school and upon completion decided to pursue training at Vassar College.
Upon graduation from Vassar College, Jacqueline earned a B.A. in Drama and Economics, with a correlate in Vocal Music Performance. While attending Vassar, Jacqueline advanced her studies in musical theater and classical vocal technique, contemporary and classical acting technique, dance (including jazz, ballet, modern, hip hop, and tap), and pursued internships and performance opportunities within film and television. Throughout college she also trained with the Powerhouse Theater Training Company and the British American Drama Academy.
