Biography

Innovation-lover and director of communications and marketing at the Hankamer School of Business, CJ Jackson is also a public radio show host and Iowa State alum.

Before coming to Baylor, CJ worked for NCR Corporation 13 years, where she learned the power of high-functioning teams, global reach and impossible deadlines.

CJ’s talents are not just limited to marketing and communications. She was the winner of a twist contest – you know, the dance – at age 3. She was an early adopter of electric cars running on renewable energy. When she isn’t working or driving on sun power, she’s hanging out in her craft room or volunteering at the local public radio station.
