Meet Jacqueline

She has sword-fought in corsets, cried in both perfect and irregular iambic pentameter, and is lovingly haunted by her amazing goddess of a pup Athena during every self-tape. A classically trained actor with a particular fondness for Shakespeare and period drama, Jacqueline brings gravitas and wit to roles that ask for truth, style, and a bit of swagger.

Jacqueline is a graduate and faculty member of the Studio Acting Conservatory in Washington DC. Her work combines rigorous classical training with a deep emotional intelligence and physical presence, honed through years of exploring the traditional and fantastical both onstage and off.

When she’s not acting, she can be found creating hand-stitched historical garments from the Renaissance, building software applications, or diving into whatever new project lets her spin a good story.

She believes in the power of stories that are big, bold, and beautifully specific. If those stories involve a sword or a crown, so much the better.
