At JPL, she has worked on the CADRE Multi-Agent Team of Rovers, the Mars 2020 Perseverance Rover, underwater robotic maintenance and repair systems as well as novel spacecraft landing technologies for Venus and robotics R&D for the Navy.
She has actively been involved in STEM outreach/in-reach for many years, working with a number of groups on both the west coast and east coast. She also believes that creating (with ownership) brings joy and wants everyone to be able to access that joy and learning.

Jackie did her undergraduate studies in Mechanical and Ocean Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Class of 2014. In the past she has worked on low-cost scalable autonomous underwater gilders, an alternative power source that uses aluminum as fuel and suspension component design and manufacturing for an electric formula-style race car.
Her school engineering portfolio is available under "Portfolio."
She was a member of the MIT Marine Robotics Team (2011-2014) and the MIT Motorsports Team (2012-2014).
Her roles on the Marine Robotics Team ranged from team member to team captain to team advisor.* Under her leadership, the team designed and built a series of underwater glider prototypes. The team brought their underwater glider prototype to Ketchikan, AK for its first open water test.

Her roles on the MIT Motorsports Team, which competes in the Formula SAE national competitions, has ranged from team member to assistant team manager.** She worked as a member of the chassis sub-team and the suspension sub-team. She wrote MatLab scripts to calculate suspension forces for failure analysis and designed / manufactured suspension components.
* Advisor (Mar 2013-Present), team captain (Jan 2012-Mar 2013) and team member (Jan 2011-Jan 2012).
** Assistant team manager (May 2013-May 2014), member (June 2012-May 2013).
MIT TIMTalk April 2014 - Mens et Manus (Hand and Mind)
In April 2014, Jackie gave a TIMTalk to an audience of MIT students as well as MIT prospective freshmen and their parents titled "Mens et Manus." In this talk, Jackie describes her experiences as a "hands-on" mechanical engineering student. She shares some times when she failed - and highlights how these experiences turned out to be some of the most enriching elements of her MIT education.
