JACKIE CRESSWELL
Hello! I'm Jackie Cresswell, born in the North of England, I spent more than 20 years working as a journalist, travelling extensively and living life until arriving in sunny Madrid.
Here the acting seed which had lain fallow since studying drama at school burst into flower. I have performed in many plays with the English language theatre group, The Madrid Players and luckily landed a job with the fabulous Ñu Accents in 2010.
There has been lots of fun, frolics and laughter since!
See you soon!
