Jacqueline Carbajal
Jacqueline Carbajal (aka Jackie) joined the office in July 2023 as a Legal Assistant.
Jackie was born and raised in El Paso, Texas. She moved to Cincinnati, Ohio in 2017, transferring from the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) to the University of Cincinnati. Jacqueline grew up speaking both English and Spanish since she grew up in a Hispanic household, with her mother being originally from Cd. Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico. As she started school, her parents made sure she went to a bilingual school so she wouldn’t forget her Spanish. As it was mentioned, Jacqueline attended both UTEP and the University of Cincinnati, where she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in English and American Literature.
In her previous position, she was an English of Other Languages (ESOL) teacher for Cincinnati Public Schools, where she worked closely with immigrant students to teach them English. As much as she loved working with ESOL students, she felt a calling to help immigrant families as more than just a teacher, which is why she decided to become a paralegal for an immigration law firm. Now, Jacqueline feels proud to be able to say that she can help people through her work. She plans to apply to law school within the next few years to become an Immigration attorney herself. In her free time, she likes to read, write, listen to music, and visit new places.
