Jackie completed her first degree in Physical Anthropology at the University of Toronto in 1999 and was hooked on the pursuit of midwifery following several years of being a doula with teen parents. She graduated with an Honours Bachelor of Health Sciences in Midwifery in 2009 from the Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University) and has been practicing with Family Care Midwives since it opened in 2010. She is a partner in the practice and also the Head Midwife at Cortellucci Vaughan.
Jackie has one amazing daughter and in her spare time, enjoys reading and puzzles. She delivers midwifery care in English, understands some French, and uses the pronouns she/her.
