Jaclyn Westlake

Contributor, CNBC Make It

Jaclyn Westlake writes books about funny, flawed women trying to find their way in the world. Her debut novel, "Dear Dotty," is available wherever books are sold. A recruiter turned career advice columnist, her work has appeared on The Muse, Business Insider, and Inc. After spending three years as a liveaboard on a 46-foot motor boat, she moved into a trailer in Laguna Beach, California with her husband, Brian, and their rescue dachshund, Indiana Jones (but you can call him Indy). You can follow her adventures in writing, beach living and beyond on Instagram @jaclyn_writing or at jaclynwestlake.com.
