About

Greetings! My name is Ernestine Jackson. I was born and raised in Austin, Texas until moving to San Antonio, Texas to attend college. I graduated with a BA in Interdisciplinary Studies from the University of Texas at San Antonio. Following that, I earned an MS in Organizational Leadership from Our Lady of the Lake University, also located in San Antonio. As far as employment, I've worked as an Undergraduate Admissions Counselor, Junior Seminar Teacher, Senior Seminar Teacher, and I'm currently a College Counselor. During my free time I enjoy [solo] traveling, crocheting, hand-knitting, and kickboxing! Lastly, I absolutely LOVE hot sauce, spicy foods, the Dallas Cowboys, and Miami Heat. Don't judge me :)

My process

Relationship building is VERY important to me. Whether we meet on an ongoing basis, or just once; getting to know who you are is important! Following that, I will give you the full floor to detail what you need assistance with. I will actively listen, and likely jot down a few notes. I'll reiterate your concerns to ensure I understand, then provide feedback, resources, and/or whatever else you feel you may need to be more confident. I give my absolute best with each and every student, and 100% dedicated to helping you be the best you!
