JACKIE ROLLERI
Jackie was introduced to sailing while working as a launch operator and dockmaster at yacht clubs in Connecticut and Rhode Island. After college, Jackie worked as a deckhand aboard mega-yachts in the Caribbean and Mediterranean. Since moving to Annapolis in 2015, she has raced on a variety of boats, including a Farr 30, J70, J105, Beneateau First 36.7 and 50, and Hylas 54 and 56. She especially enjoys offshore racing and cruising.
As the Deputy Chief of the Oceans and Coasts Section for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Office of the General Counsel, Jackie combines her legal background with her love for the water. She also serves on the Roger Williams University (RWU) Board of Trustees and the RWU School of Law Marine Affairs Institute Advisory Board.
Jackie is passionate about the AYC Foundation’s mission and is eager to support maritime related charities and educational organizations, increase access to sailing, and help local sailors competing at the national and international level.
