Prior to coming on full time, Jackie spent seven months as an intern at Targeted Victory. Her internship initially revolved around administrative tasks, but later transitioned into supporting the advocacy pod for Outside Groups. Jackie completed her undergraduate and graduate studies at VCU, majoring in Sociology for her bachelor's degree and earning a master's degree in Mass Communications. During her free time, Jackie likes to do kickboxing workouts at the gym where she used to work. Occasionally, she'll still sub in as a trainer just for fun!
