A Journey in Public Administration: Meet Moryah Jackson

A first-generation college graduate, Moryah Jackson earned a Bachelor of Arts from Columbia College and went on to earn a Master of Public Administration from the University of South Carolina in Columbia.

She has held several roles within the higher education and non-profit sectors but now serves as the Vice President for Community Development and Engagement for United Community Bank.

The twists and turns on her career path have allowed her to meet Colin Powell, be featured in a book by the late Sir Ken Robinson and coordinate an event for Bryan Stevenson, author of Just Mercy and founder of the Equal Justice Initiative.

In this episode, Moryah shares:

How the TRIO program helped her prepare for and navigate the college search process

The importance of having real work experience when looking for jobs and the benefits of apprenticeship programs

How you can learn and benefit from losses. Though she did not win the school board position she wanted, she did earn a nice job offer due to the exposure her campaign gave her.

Why building and staying engaged with your network is important

How she leveraged her previous professional experience into a newly created role
