As a graduate with honors from the School of Life, Jacqueline Kelly is an outlier, with course studies ranging from living in the Los Angeles County Foster Care System, to becoming a horse whisperer, to obtaining a letter of recommendation from the Honorable Tom Bradley for graduate school, to competing as a pioneering athlete in women’s pole vault.
She has shared her journey through precedent-setting art shows to benefit battered women & children’s shelters, as a guest speaker at juvenile halls and group homes, and as a volunteer for children’s shelters and Autism charities. Jacqueline takes heed to the philosophy that we must “pay it forward” and believes that she is doing just that by creating autism jobs and resources through Perel Clothing and affiliate charities.
