Hi guys! My name is Jackie. I grew up here in Fairbanks, and I have been involved in music for most of my life. When I was little, I took piano lessons for a couple years (as a lot of us do) and I began playing the French Horn in 4th grade. From then on, I continued to play f. horn throughout middle and high school. Now, I play in the Fairbanks Community Band with several of my family members and close family friends!
I would say I have a very close relationship with music. I'm almost always listening to music. If not, there's definitely a song stuck in my head playing on repeat.
I think one of the coolest concerts I've ever attended was one by the Seattle Symphony, where they played the soundtrack to Star Wars LIVE! There were so many times that I forgot there was live music playing- that's how good they sounded!
One of my favorite pieces that I played was the Divine Comedy by Robert W. Smith. I believe it was my junior year of high school, and we played it for the Music in Our Schools Month concert (which, if you aren't from Fairbanks, is a combined concert between the high school bands).
At UAF, I am working toward entering the pediatric therapy field (particularly occupational or speech therapy). Right now, I work at Hands-On Pediatric Therapy clinic, which I LOVE. I also coach freshman volleyball at West Valley High School, as volleyball is one of my favorite things in life :)
Here is a picture of my little bestie :)
Her name is Daisy ❀
