“It’s a gratifying experience to work in a job you love, in a town you love, surrounded by people and scenery you love. Wow!” she says.
Even though she has lived in Alaska for much of her life, she had the opportunity to travel all over the world, thanks to a mother who believed travel was one the best educations one could have — plus the fact that she has relatives in Europe and Indonesia — and her father worked in the Middle East for a time.
In addition, doing the weather on Channel 2 News keeps Jackie on her toes since Alaska presents some of the most challenging weather situations in the world. It’s definitely not the same old thing every day.
