Content and Outreach Coordinator
Jackie is excited to use her past experience as a marketing agency owner and communications director to help advance FFI’s vision of a world where resilient food and farm businesses anchor vibrant communities and a thriving planet. Prior to joining the FFI staff, she served organizations in the nonprofit, philanthropic, government, and business sectors both in-house and as a consultant. She has taken an active personal interest in food and farm businesses and is passionate about their critical role in Wisconsin, where she has lived for decades.
Jackie brings in-depth experience planning, managing, carrying out, and measuring communications and marketing campaigns and building partnerships and networks. With an MFA in writing and a background in journalism, she enjoys working with FFI’s food, farm, and finance subject matter experts to create content that advances knowledge, practice, and support in these critical areas. She has served on the boards of Woodland Pattern and the Nonprofit Center of Milwaukee.
Outside of work, Jackie likes gardening, running and hiking, yoga, and her kids’ sports and music activities. She is a musician, singer, and songwriter and lives with her family in Milwaukee.
