Additionally, she has coached multiple age groups across various lacrosse teams around Chicago. Jackie is an avid sports fan, most notably of the Detroit Lions or anything Iowa – Go Hawks!! She knows her way around a golf course and a basketball court, but feels most comfortable on a lacrosse field as a former player up through club play at Iowa.
