Staff Profiles

An immigrant to America in 1971, Jacquie was raised predominately in Boise. While studying Speech and Hearing Pathology at Northwest Nazarene College, she was presented with an opportunity to start Treasure Valley Hearing & Balance Clinic. An entrepreneur at heart, she jumped at this opportunity.

Early on, she manufactured her own brand of hearing aids and over the next 17 years, built the practice to include two more locations as well as multiple service centers throughout Treasure Valley.

Since Treasure Valley Hearing and Balance has experienced such growth over the years, Jacquie spends most of her time in business management activities. However, many of her patients have come to rely specifically on her and she reserves appointment time for them and their referrals. She enjoys playing golf, traveling, working in her garden and spending time with her family.
