Jacutin is originally from Cagayan de Oro but now lives in the United States.[1]

Short in stature at five foot, Jacutin was a right-handed player with a double-handed forehand and appeared in 14 Fed Cup ties for the Philippines in the late 1990s. She also represented her country at the Southeast Asian Games.[2]

In 1999 she moved to the United States and played collegiate tennis for Oklahoma City University. While in college she made the occasional appearances in professional tournaments and continued to compete briefly after graduation.[2]
