In the 1980's there were few resources for transgender people\; in many cases\, no one knew that transgender people existed. At the age of ten she tried to express feelings of gender dysphoria to a family member and the reaction she received convinced her to hide how she felt for 27 years.  \n\n \n\nToday\, Michael happily works at Compass Community Center and is in the process of transitioning from male to female. Unlike many transgender individuals\, she goes by any pronoun and is keeping her birth name.  She has a BS in Communications and a Masters in Educational Leadership.

In her role\, she assists transgender people with achieving economic stability through career development. Jackie believes in extending compassion and understanding to each individual she meets. \n\n\nThe Women in Business Committee meets the second Thursday of every month in the Chamber Board Room at 12:00 pm. Their mission is to recognize women as valued leaders of the community through the ATHENA Award program.
