Jacqueline Jarik

Clearwater holds an extremely special place in my heart. I was a camper in the early 2000s, and I served as a Leadership and as a staff member for four summers. I’m so grateful for my Clearwater experience and frequently credit my summers at camp for developing community and life skills like problem solving, resourcefulness, conflict management, and teamwork.

I graduated with Honors and Distinction from the University of Michigan, where I earned a degree in English Literature and Language and completed an undergraduate thesis on the construction of narrative voice. My passion for the field led me to pursue a career in publishing, and I am currently the Publicity Manager for an independent book publisher based in the Chicago-area.

In my free time, I am a competitive ultimate frisbee player and compete on the national and international level. I also enjoy reading, crafting, spending time outside, and hanging out with my family.

I am honored to have the opportunity to join the Board and look forward to contributing to the Clearwater community in this capacity!
