Don’t just show your impact.
Record stories that make audiences feel it.

I’m Jacqueline — an Impact Storytelling Strategist, Producer, and Trainer.

I help organizations tell the real, human stories at the heart of their work — stories that strengthen community, galvanize audiences, and re-inspire stakeholders’ commitment to the mission.

My specialty is drawing out the personal narratives that make your impact tangible and shareable — and training your team to do the same.
