Jacqueline Hale
Jacqueline Hale’s passion for stories began while crafting imaginative stories with her sister in the wooded backyard of her New England childhood, was nurtured by nights spent watching feature news shows with her dad; and was honed while serving as editor-in-chief of her college’s newspaper, The Liberty Champion, and earning an interdisciplinary studies degree in journalism, natural sciences and history. After graduating in March 2022, she set off to make her own stories, completing a thru-hike of the 2194.3-mile Appalachian Trail in August and moving to the Florida Keys to work as a naturalist in the Everglades National Park.
