Jackie calls herself a "local", she and her family have been coming to Rockport for over 20 years. Her mother, Vera Bryan, "retired" to Rockport in 1989 and has worked as the secretary/receptionist for the Rockport Senior Center for nearly 15 years. Jackie is actually a transplant from Houston. She finally got tired of loading up the fishing poles and the dogs every weekend and packed it all in for the move to Rockport. She likes to keep busy, volunteering for the Senior Center, the Rockport Art Center, and you may have even seen her smiling face working weekends at local hot spots and eateries.

She is a proud graduate of the University of Houston's renowned College of Hotel & Restaurant Management. To her, the Bachelor's degree she received is a degree in service, first and foremost and secondly the power and ability to manage people and money...not an easy thing to do!

She keeps her motto simple "find people what they want".
