Jackie began her medical career as a nurse 19 years ago. During this time, she gained experience in diverse practice areas, including Medical-Surgical, Gerontology/Long-term care, Emergency Room, and Psychiatry. After helping people with their medical and emotional problems, she realized her passion was in psychiatry, where she has practiced for the last 12 years.
