Ms. Jackson has been an instructor at CCSF since 1989. She has been teaching in the area of Fashion Design and Theater Costuming for over 30 years.

She loves the challenge of introducing these concepts to students, and watching the students grow in their confidence and skill level. Nothing is more satisfactory than watching a student successfully create a design that was once only the spark of an idea.

In addition to working as a theater costumer when not teaching, Ms. Jackson has also been known to occasionally perform on stage as well.
