Meet Jacqueline Prescott.
Q: What High School do you attend?
Please tell us about your current plans after high school and what inspired you to choose this path? In the fall, I plan to attend Augusta University majoring in financial services. After getting my degree, I plan to become a financial adviser. My grandfather was a mastermind with making and saving money, and it inspired me to help others manage their money as he did.
Please tell us a little bit about your family. I come from a very close knit family with two lovely parents, two older brothers, and a little sister. My father, Jody Prescott, is the proud own of a ranch where both my brothers work, and my mother, Melinda Prescott, is a first grade teacher at Waynesboro Primary School.
