Jackie grew up just outside of Monmouth and has lived in the area most of her life. She left Monmouth to finish her schooling before returning home.

"I have always enjoyed being a part of a small community," Jackie said. "I love how people of small communities really care and support each other."

She is proud to serve Monmouth through OSF HealthCare.

"The OSF HealthCare Mission and Values of serving patients with the greatest care and love matches my own belief system," Jackie said. "And with OSF HealthCare being a large health care system, we are able to provide easy access to a multitude of specialties even in the smaller communities like Monmouth."

Jackie likes for her patients to feel comfortable and realizes that health care can be confusing and sometimes scary depending on the situation. She tries to spend time with her patients and ease their worries, answering all of their questions.

An avid volleyball player, Jackie also enjoys hiking, biking and traveling as much as she can. She has two "wonderful pets" to keep her entertained. Her cat, Rhoda, and dog, a maltipoo, Mabel.
