I am a scientist, an adventurer, and a communicator: best-selling author, photographer, and public speaker. I'm an elected Fellow of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society, and recipient of the RCGS's Sir Christopher Ondaatje Medal for Exploration.
I have a PhD in Structural Geology and Tectonics, and an MFA in Creative Writing: I pride myself in my ability to explain technical subjects like geology to people in a way that is not only understandable, but engaging and exciting - whether in my work as a ghostwriter or in my work as a naturalist/expedition guide.
I am author or co-author of four published books (and there are two more in the works right now!). My articles and photos have been published in quality magazines and newspapers around the world, and my radio documentaries have played on CBC Radio (Canada) and internationally. I have spoken at numerous venues across North America (from The Explorer's Club in New York to museums and outdoor clubs across North America) and I am a TEDx speaker.
And I am an expedition guide and naturalist, working on ships and driving people around in zodiacs in exciting parts of the world (lately, mainly Patagonia, Polynesia and Antarctica).

Where is Jacqueline right now?
I have just spent an extended summer at home on beautiful Vancouver Island: paddling and hiking around our cabin on Sproat Lake, and tending to my gardens. My harvest was amazing this year, in spite of me only returning from down south in late spring - Dave and I have canned another year's worth of enchilada sauce from my tomatoes and tomatillos! (We pretty much live on enchiladas - we love them!)
I also managed to research and write two book chapters and started on my own book! It has been a while since I have published anything under my own name. Most of my writing these recent years has been for other people - so I am excited to be back into it.
But now I am preparing to leave for my season down south - working on ships in Patagonia, Antarctica, Polynesia and southeast Asia for most of October through May. Very excited about this upcoming season: it brings a lot of variety and adventure into these upcoming contracts!
