Jackie Marchand is a television writer and producer, best known for her work on the children's action/adventure series Power Rangers.

Background

Jackie Marchand was, as of Power Rangers Jungle Fury, the longest running veteran on the show since Judd Lynn, whom she shared co-writing duties with until he left at the end of Time Force. Taking a break from the show after Time Force, Marchand was brought back to work on the franchise in 2003 by Disney when they began filming new episodes of Power Rangers in New Zealand under the Village Roadshow production team. She contributed to Ninja Storm and Dino Thunder.

Since then, Marchand has served the current team behind Ranger Productions. She has been promoted several times during the course of the last two seasons, becoming the story editor in Mystic Force, and serving as co-producer of Operation Overdrive, Jungle Fury and finally RPM, where she served as the season's head writer for a time before breaking ties with the franchise altogether. Marchand also played an uncredited voice role in 1998's Power Rangers in Space, as the voice of the monster named Mamamite. Marchand made an appearance at the Power Morphicon, the first Power Rangers fan convention, in June 2007. She was profiled by Yahoo.com Media as part of their coverage of the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike.
