Jenna Jackson, an SHSU alumna, has led a career that has taken her from the newsroom to the boardroom. Starting as a reporter and then producing for CBS, she went on to become the CEO and founder of a full-service TV and film production company, earning awards for her reporting and powerful documentaries along the way. She has also led communications and branding for a major infrastructure and energy services company and built a reputation as a strategic PR specialist. Today, she continues to give back as a member of the SHSU alumni board. We're excited to welcome her back to campus for an inspiring evening as we launch our Slice of Advice speaker series.
