Local journalist and aspiring historian

Hi! I'm Jacquelyn Burrer, and I’m a government reporter for Community Impact in their Dallas-Fort Worth office, covering the Plano and Prosper areas. I graduated from Texas State University with dual degrees in history and journalism with a concentration in Chinese and Latin American studies. Previously, I interned for Community Impact’s Austin office and covered hyper-local news for The University Star in San Marcos. Additionally, for the past two summers, I interned in Washington, D.C., first as a reporting intern with The Well News and second as journalism program advisor. I'd love to connect with other journalists, so feel free to reach out through the contact page or email me!
