Bio
Mychelle Fitzgerald
Jacqueline was one of my students at FIDM. She took my Entrepreneurship class and did very well. She got a well deserved "A" in my class. She participated in class discussion and was a strong team player. She played an important leadership role on her team and had great input for her Business Plan. She was would be a great asset to any team.
Nancy Bombard
I enthusiastically recommend Jacqueline for a position in the retail field. Jacqueline was an outstanding student--diligent, talented, mature and personable. She was a leader in the classroom and earned the highest possible grades. I have no doubt Jacqueline will bring the same dedication and creativity that she exhibited at school to any position she is interested in, and I would personally hire her without hesitation.
