Jackie Baron has been involved in music since she started eavesdropping on (and trying to copy) her sibling's piano lessons at age 4. After many years of instruments, choruses, and musicals, she joined the Queer Joy Chorus (then the Pride Chorus) when it first started in 2019. As her day job, she is a school speech-language pathologist. In both of these spaces, Jackie's focus is on sharing one's authentic voice, especially if it's been systemically ignored or suppressed. She is honored to join the QJC board and to use her dual loves of music and spreadsheets to help them grow and spread joy everywhere they can.
