Jacqui Preugschat is a Emotional Intelligence Coach, Special Education Teacher, has a degree in Justice Studies (Criminology), University Lecturer, and Short Course writer for TAFE. She is also currently studying a Diploma in Leadership and Management with AIM.
Jacqui has a passion for encouraging girls to use their talents and
learn new ones and as a little girl, Jacqui spent her school
holidays in her grandmother's dress shop, surrounded by elegant things. It was there that she found a love for creating beautiful
things and the desire to share that love.
In her spare time, she directed three musicals at the
Princess Theatre, maintained a role as a buyer for a bridal store, and even window dressed a babies, girls and bridal store in South Australia.
Currently, Jacqui homeschools her two girls, directs a choir on a weekly basis, teaches drama, and runs a girls DIY Arts
and Crafts group fortnightly, where she facilitates young girls learning to make their own beautiful projects.
Jacqui's book series - Tessa’s Books Of Elegance is a series of story/activity books within which the reader follows the main character, Tessa, through a series of elegant activities; from cooking, dress and hat designing, sewing, to creating décor and even tutus.
In addition, this series encourages society to come together, be kind,
thankful, to give, inspire, and support each other in our own unique goals and dreams.
With these books, Jacqui intends to:
Encourage families to spend quality time together by sharing fun
activities; and foster lines of open communication within families, to create the foundation for strong and lasting relationships.
By recognising the importance of having conversations with one another, Jacqui aims to create a compassionate and caring environment for children, with the hope of reducing the impact of childhood loneliness and social isolation.
