<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.4; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Her work at North Carolina A&T involved helping students realize the power of interdisciplinary collaboration and navigate the process of design thinking. She helped developed the first Makerspace for the College of Engineering, a place where students could ideate, create and innovate. This space allowed students access to resources and a network of faculty support that wanted to see each of them learn and succeed. This is where Jackie realized her true passion for innovation and entrepreneurship because of the level of impact she could have serving her community.</span>
