Jaclyn S. Powell

Profane, profound and edited only for punctuation and grammar, Jaclyn was raised in a theater family and had her first role at the age of six. Between college and a "real job," Jaclyn became a certified professional ski instructor, followed by a 22 year career as an insurance defense trial coordinator.

Jaclyn's job included legal research and writing, representing the largest US corporations - airlines, banks, auto manufacturers, Big Pharma, Big Tobacco, and telecommunications companies.

Jaclyn excelled at crafting factual and legal arguments that won in court and held the interest of the jurist who reads hundreds of briefs, setting a new standard in her federal district.

Tired of jousting with invisible corporate masterminds, Jaclyn took early retirement from law and immersed herself in screenwriting and filmmaking, making over 10 short films in two years, winning awards with her first short and feature film scripts, Kill Switch, When Opposites Attract, and The Last Shred of Daylight, while taking classes in improv and writing and performing stand-up comedy and background acting.
