About - The Way Up

Get to know me

Hi,

I’m Jackie, I’m a Project Manager, former Firefighter, and passionate about personal growth. However, if you want to know me well, the most important thing you should know is that I’m a Christian, a wife, a mom, and I have a great passion for campus ministry.

Here, we share our lives from the smallest, everyday moments to the most significant and faith-filled experiences, as we strengthen our relationship with Christ.

Let’s be friends and create a community not only for us to share ideas and conversations, but to create a safe space for those girls who are growing up without a good mentor/friend by their side.

This is my husband, Charlie. Our calling together began when we led campus ministry during our time in college at UCR in San José, Costa Rica. From that moment on, we realized that God had placed in us a passion for this particular area.

For a season, we had the blessing of leading the youth group at our local church, the International Baptist Church in Costa Rica, alongside our dear friend Fiorella. Over time, God brought new changes, Fio got married and moved to the United States. Today, Charlie serves as the youth pastor, and together, we serve the youth ministry as a family.

We were also thankful for the time Noelle and Alejandro served alongside us. They were a true blessing to our team, and we celebrate that they are now serving the Lord through a student ministry. Every year, it’s incredible to see how faithful God is, always bringing the right people to serve alongside us at just the right time.

If you want to connect with us, follow us on Instagram where we share a little more of our day-to-day life.

I’m excited to share this space with you and get to build community together!
