Hi! I’m Jackson. I recently graduated summa cum laude from the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University, where I studied public relations with an emphasis in financial and investor communications. My experience spans corporate communications, earned media relations, employer branding, political and financial messaging, editorial writing and social media strategy. I approach every project with a balance of strategy and creativity — and a deep love for strong copy.
