Jacqueline is a financial crimes analyst and the 2026 debut author of Lessons from a Garden. In her career, she’s learned to approach complex problems and human behavior with curiosity and creativity—qualities that lend themselves to her passions for gardening and writing. She discovered the power of words early on, writing her first novel at twelve and publishing her first short story in a literary magazine at thirteen. In 2020, Jacqueline returned to poetry as a creative outlet while tending her garden. Her four-part poetry collection emerged from hours spent among her plants, observing their rhythms and recognizing the garden as a profound source of healing and growth. In this collection, she explores the wisdom of the natural world and invites readers to discover their own capacity for transformation.
