Jaclyn Gallagher

Jaclyn earned her B.A. in Psychology at Bloomsburg University. Jaclyn has spent her post-college years working first in the workers comp insurance field, and more recently in clinical trials. She is passionate about books and travel, and using these as tools to connect with others both locally and globally. You will find Jaclyn (on a sunny day) taking a long walk to grab a coffee or browse a thrift shop, or (on a rainy day) binging her latest Netflix obsession.
