Bio
stephen talbot
Jackie is a skilled, very reliable, hardworking, creative and smart web producer and journalist, who I had the pleasure of working with for 4 years on PBS FRONTLINE's Emmy and Webby award winning TV series and website, FRONTLNE World. I was the Series Editor overseeing the broadcast series, as well as the series website, which Jackie ran. I hired her and was always glad I had. She worked well in a team and on her own initiative. She has a keen sense of news and an international perspective. She brought a fresh sense of design to the website, kept the site up to date and newsworthy, and became increasingly adept at working with producers creating videos for the web. I recommend her highly.
Jeff Rowlands
Jackie has the ability to reach into a meeting or a business brief or a marketing situation and pull out the pivotal question facing that group. She filters out the internal and external voices affecting that situation and suggests novel approaches or answers and gives options to maximise the opportunity or solve the impasse.
