As a first generation American and Afro-Colombian Jackie writes through the lens of shattered rose colored glasses hoping to inspire dialogue surrounding oppression and identity. Jackie's writing materializes itself through the forms of surrealism, science-fiction, absurdism and horror exploring themes of miscommunication, oppression, and desire.

 

As an actor Jackie had always gravitated towards roles that were culturally specific and identity driven as well as roles that challenged the conventions of those identities.

 

Most recent performances: Tonita in "Esperare" at Columbia University, Shapiro Theatre, Lysander in "A Midsummer Nights Dream" with Catskills Mountain Shakespeare, a participant in the National 24 Hour Play festival at INTAR as an actor. They are currently originating and performing material for the theatre company MMET Limited  as well as producing works with Horror focused theatre company Scawwy Howwow Inc.

​

Jackie received education and obtained a BFA in Musical Theatre from Marymount Manhattan College.
