Given her deep international experience, Ms. Jackson was appointed by Denver Mayor Michael Hancock in 2015 to serve as a member of the City & County of Denver’s International Advisory Council which worked to shape Denver’s global outreach strategy.  In addition, Ms. Jackson was appointed by the U.S. Secretary of Commerce to serve on the Rocky Mountain District Export Council.  She also serves on the Board of Directors of the World Trade Center Denver and Denver Sister Cities International.


Ms. Jackson received an MBA from the Thunderbird School of Global Management and a BA in Economics and International Studies from the University of Richmond (Virginia).  Her education also includes study abroad experience and language training in France, Austria and the United Arab Emirates.  In 2009 she received the International Airport Professional (IAP) accreditation.  In her free time, Ms. Jackson is an avid runner and enjoys traveling to races around the world.
