Jackson, who earned her B.S. in nuclear engineering and mechanical engineering in 1992, joined the NRC in 1993. Prior to her promotion to Branch Chief, she held a variety of positions within the agency, including serving as a technical reviewer in the Balance of Plant and Reactor Systems branches, advisor for the Organizational Effectiveness Branch, and reactor technical assistant to former NRC chairman Nils Diaz.
