Jackie Velez
Reporter, Writer, Actress, and Poet
Hello, my name is Jacqueline Velez.
I go by Jackie. I was raised in San Antonio, TX! I have a BA in both English & Communication Arts with a concentration in journalism from University of the Incarnate Word in San Antonio. My educational background along with my professional experience in radio and as a writing tutor, along with theatre are what molded me to be the journalist I am today.
I have worn several hats in various roles including but not limited to writing tutor, board operator, reporter, audio editor, writing editor, features editor, producer, marketing, stage manager, director, assistant director, tech director, stage manager, wardrobe manager, script judge, and newsletter editor. These are just a few of the skills I possess and continue to add on.
On my free time, I meet up with my writing group, Teatro Esperanza, to create personal stories I share with the community. I'm also a poet and have read many of my poems on stage. I am into theatre and have acted and produced several plays. I love spending time with my two cats Poe and Perkins. I'm very Intune with my community and try to help out where I can. I love attending events in my city and truly love participating in anything artistic. I'm always looking ahead to see what the next adventure is. There's never a dull moment in my life. I'm always looking to see what life has in store for me. I hope you enjoy my website.
