Jacqueline M. Carrera
President & CEO

An eternal optimist, Jackie has never met a challenge that she could not turn into an opportunity for positive change. A Baltimore City resident, she loves the convenience and joys of urban living and purchased her home because of its nearness to a park, stream and trail. She wholeheartedly believes that parks and the recreation they foster are critical components to economic development, neighborhood revitalization and community health.

Prior to signing on as leader of our happy troupe, she ran a soup kitchen and outreach center in Colorado and was a community organizer for Maryland Save Our Streams. Her finance degree from Loyola College of Baltimore fine-tuned her innate critical thinking skills, skills she brings to bear on all things interesting and challenging. A wife and mother of three, Jackie feels "blessed and lucky."
