We discuss her journey from Spanish teacher to TV writer, how she got staffed for the first time, how she landed respresentation, the importance of the first few pages of a script, and so much more. This is one of our favorite episodes so far and you don't want to miss it!  Jackie's Bio: Born and raised in the Midwest, Jackie graduated from The Ohio State University and attended the University of Cincinnati for graduate school. After several years as a Spanish teacher, Jackie left teaching to pursue a career as a TV writer. Now an LA based 1hr dramedy/drama writer, Jackie’s writing focuses primarily on female-driven stories that explore complicated family dynamics, female friendship and the idea of being a fish out of water. Her Blackish TV spec “Downsizing” was a semifinalist for The Breakk Screenwriting Competition. Jackie has worked as a set production assistant, a line producer’s assistant and writers’ production assistant. She was a writers’ assistant on Netflix's Ginny &amp; Georgia and was a staff writer on Disney +’s  upcoming show Turner &amp; Hooch.
