Jacquelyn H. Berry, Ph.D. is a Cognitive Scientist who studies expertise and human-computer interaction. As a Fulbright scholar, she studied interface switching in Arabic-English bilinguals at the American University in Cairo, Egypt. Her work largely centers around how gaming can inform learning and she uses the video game Tetris as an experimental platform. Jackie is also an avid Tetris player who competes regularly in tournaments (against much younger folks!). After returning from Egypt, Dr. Berry turned her appreciation for how learning can be augmented and became a Techprenuer starting her own technology company in which she is now working diligently to produce SaaS. Jacquelyn is also a founding member of Artificial Intelligence for Africa (AI4A) and spoke before the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland, virtually this past May. Dr. Berry is also a bird lover and part of her enthusiasm is expressed in a local television series: “Bird to the Wise,” where she interviews many people about all things birds, from Falconry to raising chickens, rescuing Parrots, and much more. Jackie is also Senior Warden of her Episcopal Church, a 5-building campus with an active community, leading their governing body. Dr. Berry is the current Mrs. Dutchess County, New York, and will be competing for the title of Mrs. New York this coming May in Rochester, New York.

Jackie is new to the author scene and very much wants to help people find their true calling. She loves getting “elbows-deep” in helping people set and attain goals and is offering private coaching sessions and workshops. Dr. Berry taught a class in Egypt about the science of expertise and helped her students set and attain outstanding goals such as completing one leg of a triathlon, doing 4-minute planks, learning to play an instrument, speaking a new language, and losing 25 pounds. Her amazement in their progress led her to write FIND YOUR CARROT to help people organize their lives and their hearts to be true to themselves. With this book, she hopes to bring the game changer to help people thrive and flourish.
