Human Impact
It is critical to re-evaluate our relationship with resources, and communicate their importance beyond human consumption.
"We have become great because of the lavish use of our resources. But the time has come to inquire seriously what will happen when our forests are gone, when the coal, the iron, the oil, and the gas are exhausted, when the soils have still further impoverished and washed into the streams, polluting the rivers, denuding the fields and obstructing navigation."
- Theodore Roosevelt
Testimonials
My professional relationship with Jackie was one of the most positive experiences of my copyediting career. Jackie has an innate ability to not only foster the growth and improvement of her editors and writers but also to promote and maintain a high level of engagement and excitement across her team – despite the fact that we lived all over the world. I learned a great deal about copyediting and SEO working under Jackie, and am thankful for the opportunities she provided for me to further my knowledge. I would be delighted to work with Jackie in the future, should our paths cross again!
- Jennifer Munro, Learning & Development Content Management and Design at Johnson & Johnson
"I've never met anyone who can steer a ship so smoothly. She really not only knows how to steer, guide and motivate a team but she knows what needs to happen to make a business and team successful. I am an absolute fan of this human and I find it rare in life to meet someone so smart and kind. It was a pleasure to work with someone who gets shit done so efficiently while making the people around her feel excited to come to work and be on her team. Eventually I left Cloudwards but I genuinely miss working with her. 10/10 recommend working with Jackie!"
- Dre Babić, Team Culture at What Took You So Long?
"Jackie is an astute and thorough editor. I had the opportunity to write an article for one of Hawthorn's magazines and not only was it a fun and interesting piece to work on, but it was very well outlined by Jackie from the beginning. When the going got tough and sources were difficult to nail down, Jackie took the reins and knocked some heads to make sure I could focus on the writing rather than chasing down leads. Jackie gets 2 thumbs up."
