Jackie is a Seattle-based advocate, whose passions have stemmed from her lived experience as a commercially sexually exploited womxn. Since leaving the life, Jackie has been a part of numerous projects and programs dedicated to empower, give voice to CSE/CSEC individuals, and providing trauma-informed care through: outreach, direct case management, and her current role as a supervisor and community educator. Her roles outside of supervising direct-service programs at REST also include: being a co-founding partner/educator at (QUEE) Queers Uniting to End Exploitation and an ambassador for GEMS (Girl Educational & Mentoring Services).
Her unique skill set has been sought out to formulate, nurture, and implement the piloting of “Freedom Signal’s project intercept” through SAS/Microsoft. The purpose of this project is to assist CSE/CSEC-victim outreach programs throughout the United States; integrating technology and proven data to aid and support survivors - meeting folx where they are at. Throughout Jackie’s work, one can see that her posture of humility and tenacity is reflected the services she provides.

Well, first I guess I would have to believe that there was or is an actual political dialogue taking place that I could potentially be a part of. And honestly, I'm not sure that I believe that.
