Jackie has four years of experience in research and extension in natural resources and agriculture. She supports the development of monitoring procedures to quantify Terra's projects' climate, social, and biodiversity impacts. Before joining Terra, she worked at Delaware State's University Cooperative Extension with shellfish aquaculture farmers evaluating methods to implement low-cost water quality monitoring techniques and engaging them in oyster reef restoration projects. Her master's thesis studied carbon and nitrogen dynamics in tidal wetlands and assessed the impacts of invasive marsh grass on estuarine food webs. Her undergraduate thesis project focused on formulating and characterizing alternative fuel pellets using agricultural waste. She also worked on soil restoration projects using biochar and humic acids. She has an undergraduate degree in Agronomic Engineering from EARTH University and a Master's degree in Natural Resources from Delaware State University.
