A born and raised Chicagoan, Jackie is thrilled to return home after receiving her B.A. in Drama Studies from the University of Michigan in May 2014. She is even more thrilled to join the team of lovely ladies at Simon Casting! After completing many internships throughout her college years at theaters such as Steppenwolf and Arena Stage, she is thrilled to be the newest casting assistant at Simon Casting and pursue her love of the craft. When she’s not spending her days watching talented actors, Jackie can be found with her friends or her huge family, seeing plays, giving into her shopping addiction, playing with dogs (while secretly wishing for her own puppy), or, without a doubt, eating. Jackie is loving getting to know Chicago’s incredibly talented actors and can’t wait to meet the rest of them!
