Jacquelyn was born and raised in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, and moved to Ontario in 2012 after earning her Bachelor of Science degree in New Brunswick.

Today, she continues to stay active through regular strength training and summer softball. Jacquelyn has built a career around combining her passion for athletics with her dedication to helping people recover from both sports-related and everyday overuse injuries — a niche she has truly made her own. Since 2018, she has served as an Athletic Therapist in the Ontario Summer Football League (OSFL), working with multiple clubs and athletes of varying levels. During her four-year Bachelor of Applied Health Sciences in Athletic Therapy degree, Jacquelyn earned five awards, including one presented on the field at a Toronto Blue Jays game. Her experience spans working with various teams and sports organizations — including a season internship with the Toronto Argonauts Football Club — as well as years of clinical work with the general population, rehabilitating work-related, overuse, and motor vehicle accident injuries. To further expand her scope of practice, Jacquelyn completed an accelerated Registered Massage Therapy program in 2019. Her goal is to provide an environment that supports both athletes and non-athletes alike — helping individuals enhance their performance, recover from injury, and return to the demands of work, sport, and everyday life.
