About Jackie

My name Chrisanta Jacqueline Webster but everyone calls me Jackie and I am 66 years old. I am a Torres Strait islander woman born on Thursday Island. I lived there until I was eight. My family moved from there to Darwin where I grew up and lived until I met my husband, who is from Tasmania. I lived through cyclone Tracy, raised three daughters in Alice Springs, have ten grandchildren, travelled to several countries around the world and have been retired and living in Tasmania for the last fifteen years. After taking part the WHEN's focus groups, I have realised there is so much more I can do for my health as I grow into my senior years.
