Her Story
Grounded in experience.
Guided by purpose.
Jacqueline Poole has spent more than twenty years showing up for children — in daycares, classrooms, behavioral health settings, and community programs. She has been an assistant, a specialist, a teacher, a program associate, and for five years, a director of children's programming.
But long before any of those titles, she was a child on a trail. Swimming in a lake. Fishing at dawn. Sitting quietly in the woods learning to listen to something larger than herself. She grew up understanding that nature wasn't something you visited — it was something you belonged to.
"It is my teacher, my friend, my kinship. I am Nature and nature is me."
NatureKin was born from the intersection of those two lives — the professional who has guided hundreds of children through challenge, growth, and discovery, and the person who has always known that the natural world is the greatest classroom there is.
What Jacqueline loves most is the moment a child works through something hard and feels the pride of having done it themselves. Not because someone told them they could — but because they did. That moment of genuine capability, of real confidence earned through real experience — that's what NatureKin is built to create, over and over again.
