Experience
Jacquelyn has produced content for lifestyle brand websites, including HGTV and Food Network. She was a regular contributor to the Travel Channel's website when they created original travel content and she was the lead editor on the now-defunct DIYNetwork.com.
Jacquelyn is well-versed in creating various types of content such as step-by-step how-tos, in-depth buyer’s guides, commerce round-ups and photo galleries — all covering a plethora of topics including home improvement, decorating, gardening, entertaining, holidays and travel.
Before working in lifestyle digital media, Jacquelyn worked as a technical writer creating training manuals for a large medical-imaging manufacturer (hence her ability to explain things really well).
