Maureen Jacquot Resident AssistantMs. Jacquot is a former New York City Police Officer who is excited about a new line of work. As a Police Officer, she found herself interested more in why people were committing the crimes at hand, versus the normal processing of an arrest; this is what triggered her interest into this rewarding career change. She is currently enrolled in her final two classes that complete the required coursework for an M.S. in Mental Health Counseling, and she will begin her clinical hours to complete the program this fall. Upon graduation, she is planning to pursue LPCC licensure. Outside of work and school, Maureen spends most of her time keeping active outdoors, attending music venues, and traveling.
