Jackson has always been a problem-solver, and for as long as he can remember, he’s been eager to learn new things. He earned a degree in communications from the University of Central Oklahoma before joining up with the Oklahoma City Thunder as the Community Relations Coordinator. In this role, he used his creative thinking to coordinate large community service efforts and education programs that reached thousands of students across Oklahoma annually.

Soon, however, Jackson felt the tug to learn and explore something new: data. His curiosity was piqued when the Thunder received a grant to teach Google’s coding platform for kids. While teaching about the benefits of a computer science career to elementary students, Jackson realized he wanted to consider the same thing for himself! He shortly received a certificate in data science and is now a part of the InterWorks team, working with data each and every day.

Motivated by his lifelong pursuit of learning, Jackson loves traveling and immersing himself in new cultures. He also enjoys playing video games, riding his bike and walking his dog, Alaska.
