Originally from Southern California, Jacquelene has called Washington state her home since 2013. Jacquelene works in the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion field and is trying to make the world a more equitable and accessible place. She received her B.A. from the University of Redlands in 2012 and received her M.A. from Washington State University in 2017. When she isn't working, Jacquelene loves to read, paint, and take slow strolls through parks to look at nature. Jacquelene was diagnosed with CMT at the age of 10 and has several family members that have CMT as well. Jacquelene is excited to become involved with the Portland area CMTA branch and connect with others who understand what it means to live with CMT!
