“Cannot recommend Jacqueline highly enough. I mean, she literally swooped in, listened, created, and blew my mind! I’m so thrilled.”
Kim Griffin, audio & film producer
As a voraciously curious person, my work is rooted in human interest—so my portfolio of stories and skills doesn’t neatly fit into copywriting categories. But below, you’ll find areas of specialty and links to samples. How can I help you connect with your customers, patients, clients, or audience?
Writing & Production Services
Food & Hospitality
Feature Writing for Trade & Consumer Publications
As a former private chef and recipe builder with hundreds of chef interviews behind me, I believe the best food features illustrate that we’re not just what we eat—we’re how we eat.

Podcast Production
Creative & Technical Production
Both sides of my brain get to play when I make podcasts! I combine training in audio storytelling, my history with content writing, and my skills in audio engineering to create podcast segments, episodes, and series for leading brands and producers.
Clients include: iHeart Media, Heritage Radio Network, Dean & Deluca.
Note: I am currently only available for segments & episodes—not full production.
Speaking
Panels, Lectures + Workshops
Here’s a little secret: I spent a decade as a trained actor stomping regional and off-Broadways stages before I transitioned my storytelling skills to the page. So I always get a little tingly when hired to moderate/speak on a panel, talk an audience through an idea, or lead a workshop. There’s nothing more fulfilling than fostering human-to-human connection!

Trends in food and hospitality
Tactics to live well with chronic illness

Steve Capus, Media Executive
“I was impressed with her deep understanding of the podcast world, her technical proficiency, attention to detail, and resourcefulness. I also studied her prior work for iHeart and can attest to her strong interviewing, editing, and production skills. Jacqueline is well organized, always prompt, and does what it takes to get the job done.”
Brent Herrig, Food Photographer
“Jacqueline exudes professionalism in every aspect of her work. Her ability to conduct interviews and capture the essence of her subjects is truly remarkable.”
“I was always impressed with how Jacqueline managed the many requests across functions, while still understanding the technical matters behind it all. In our industry, telehealth, her writing balanced the precision of medical terms with the necessary readability of marketing language. She facilitated conversation to reach a shared understanding of our company's voice and always responded to feedback with thoughtfulness and curiosity.”
