She is currently a 5th grade science teacher with Douglas County Schools, following more than 20 years of experience in education and non-traditional learning environments.

Beyond the classroom, Dr. Jackson and her husband have successfully operated Unconditional Marriage Ministry for the past 10 years, providing coaching and spiritual guidance to couples through word-of-mouth referrals and trusted community relationships. Their ministry primarily supports newlywed and engaged couples, helping them navigate the critical first two to five years of marriage by building realistic expectations, strengthening communication, and establishing a strong biblical foundation for long-term relationship success. She is especially passionate about helping individuals and couples grow emotionally, spiritually, and relationally through practical coaching, encouragement, and compassionate guidance. Her work reflects her belief that investing in relationships strengthens families and communities.

Dr. Jackson is also a highly creative individual who enjoys painting, writing, singing, and listening to music. She is deeply passionate about helping people, especially women, because of her heart for supporting those who often carry unspoken burdens. Known for her warm and approachable personality, she enjoys connecting with people in everyday settings and believes in the power of listening and encouragement. She is committed to pouring into others through teaching, training, and mentorship, because she believes that when individuals are strengthened and supported, they are able to positively impact others around them. She enjoys spending time with her husband, her dog, and her cat, and continues to dedicate her life to education, ministry, and service to others.
