Pesticide Program Specialist
Urban Policy Lead
Jacqueline works with Xerces partners and community leaders to reduce pesticide use in towns, cities, and campuses through strategic outreach and policy action. Prior to joining the Xerces Society, Jacqueline worked with local governments in Colorado and Florida to enhance their integrated pest and pollinator management, promote biological control, and reduce reliance on pesticides. Her greatest passion is working directly with community members and decision makers to protect the invertebrate life that sustains us.
Jacqueline holds a Master of Science in entomology from Colorado State University. When she is not advocating for invertebrates, you can find her hiking through the forest or recreating nature's beauty in stained glass.
