Off the Clock
Outside of work, Jackie stays active with her favorite outdoor activities, snow skiing and hiking. Her favorite ski run is Vail’s Lovers Leap in Blue Sky Basin, one that she “yard sale’d” down more times than she would like to admit before ever enjoying it! Her favorite hike is the Royal Arch in Boulder, Colorado. Despite clearly loving Colorado, her heart is in Cleveland with her partner Brandon and 3 boys Nolan, Bennett and Austin. When they aren’t at basketball and baseball games, you can find them hitting the local trails of the Metroparks and biking Towpath trail!
