Jackie Wambach is the Senior Accounting Manager for Fortitude Mining and a resident of Brighton. Upon joining the University of Rochester as a Staff Accountant in 2005, she would walk Highland Park each day on her lunch break—rain, snow or sunshine. As a Rochester native, she has a deep affection for the Lilac Festival and the summer concert series at Highland Bowl. She is passionate about the parks and the peace they bring to so many. She attended Rochester Institute of Technology, graduating in 2005 with a BS in Accounting. She later received her MS in Medical Management at the William E. Simon Graduate School of Business–University of Rochester. She enjoys quiet walks and picnics in the park, the Olmsted Lodge, the beautiful Lamberton Conservatory greenhouse, and last but certainly not least, the Warner Castle grounds. “I always find something new and breathtaking to see in the park.”
