Jackie has worked as a high school classroom teacher, chef, kitchen hand and factory worker and believes in life long learning and embracing opportunities. She is passionate about the transformative power of legal and civics education for young people and is optimistic that her work and that of others in the field of court education will lead to positive and lasting change in Australia and beyond. In her free time Jackie likes to mountain bike, rock climb, ski and trail run, she bakes cakes to relax and is fortunate to be supported in all of her endeavours by her partner Tim and children Sophie and Max.
