Biography:
Currently Jacqueline is a PhD student in English - English & American Literature as a non-traditional student. She is a Sr. Financial Analyst for Charles River Labs, Inc.’s Microbial Solutions Business and manages forecasts/planning/5-year strat/ad hoc reporting/capex/ and global reporting for the international businesses within MS. Though her career and education are primarily financial based, Jacqueline always had the goal of studying for her PhD in English, all the way back when she was a business undergrad. English and Classics were her primary interests; so much so that she got minors for both disciplines and studied Latin throughout high school and college.
Jacqueline hopes that by posting her profile, others who may have been thinking of going for an education completely removed from their career will go for it. Despite how different one’s background may be, there is no stopping how one wants to continue their interests and education.
