Jacquie is a graduate from Western Washington University, Huxley College of the Environment, with a focus in Resource Management. Her love of everything nature and outdoors led her to pursue her passion of contributing to conservation and restoration efforts. She has volunteered time for water quality testing and participated in various environmental studies. She has spent time on restoration crews as well as experience developing planting plans with coordination for restoration projects.

You can find her in her 4×4 camper van traveling to new unexplored locations or backpacking to the backcountry to see any serene peaks, valleys, meadows, and high lakes, that her legs will carry her to. She recently took up sea kayaking and is still working on mastering the art of balance. Yoga, gardening, food preservation and art are her other past times when she’s not out exploring with her fiancé and their dog.

She’s excited to be back with the WACD Plant Materials Center and looks forward to helping you with your native plant needs!
