Beyond her professional commitments, Jacqueline actively volunteers for a Boxer Rescue and engages in research trips to advance scientific knowledge. Her endeavors include tracking and studying leatherback sea turtles in Trinidad to gain insights into their behavior and migration patterns, contributing to future conservation efforts. Her most recent project involves collaborating with a penguin colony in Patagonia. This initiative aims to investigate the various factors leading to the decline of the Magellanic penguin population, with the ultimate goal of stabilizing their numbers.
Jacqueline’s affection for animals extends beyond the exotic; she proudly assumes the role of “pet parent” to a diverse array of dogs, cats, and even chickens. Residing on a small farm, she expresses her love for gardening and outdoor activities. While she enjoys exploring new destinations and seeking adventures, Jacqueline equally cherishes the tranquility of home life with her pets. Notably, one of her dogs has even graced the cover of the Milkbone box.
