Jackson led the Lady Wildcats to three consecutive MEAC Softball Championships and NCAA regional appearances. During her three seasons at Bethune-Cookman (2003-2005), Jackson held every school record for hitting. She currently holds the record for best batting average (.464), RBIs (175), home runs (34), triples (28), hits (284) and slugging (79.7-percent). In 2007, she was selected in the second round by the Washington Glory in the National Pro Fastpitch (NPF) Draft. In her rookie year, Jackson led the league in RBIs and home runs and was named Player of the Year. Also, she led her team to victory at the Cowles Cup Championship. She finished her career in the NPF with the USSSA Pride, where she earned her second All-NPF honor.

Jackson currently serves as head softball coach at Delaware State University. In 2016, she was named MEAC Coach of the Year, after guiding the Hornets to their third consecutive MEAC North Division title.
