Meet Jackie

"Hi! I'm Jackie. I have a degree in Architecture from U.C. Berkeley. An MBA from Nova University, a Master of Science in Finance from FIU and you might say I eat, breathe and sleep business growth!

As a digital marketer and business owner, I spend most of my time learning and applying strategies on how to grow a business so I can sell it at a profit! - I share everything I learned over the past 18+ years in my Udemy courses!

In August 2015, my youngest son turned 21. After 20 years of building businesses (many times I succeeded, many times I failed) I ditched my massive house and moved to a cozier place. My goal is to be able to spend more time creating Udemy courses (In English and Spanish) and share my knowledge. I also want to dedicate my time to building IoT (Internet of Things) projects…ah, and Crowdfund them whenever possible."
