About Angelina Jackson

As an aspiring construction project manager, my strongest skills are problem-solving and critical thinking. I have always been curious and when an idea catches my attention, I am determined to learn as much as I can about it. In my 3 years of being in the Pre-Engineering pathway and in construction classes, I have learned to become solution oriented and future focused in order to come up with innovative ideas that will make a difference in other people's lives. It is my goal to become a construction project manager in order to improve the lives of others through the design and construction of facilities that can make a positive impact in their lives. This is my goal as I have always been fascinated by buildings and how they can start off as piles of different materials, eventually becoming buildings that will help people for many years to come. I plan to achieve my career goal by studying construction project management at Kennesaw State University. It is my mission to one day design and oversee the construction of facilities in order to help solve issues within my area/community. I plan to achieve my mission by making resources more accessible to those who have difficulty with transportation or who need a certain resource in their area. For example, as a project manager I could oversee the building of health facilities near residential areas so that people without means of transportation can have accessible health care. Achievements - 3 years worth of experience using SOLIDWORKS - Won 2nd place in Skills Challenge Fine Furniture Competition - Worked on an Assistive Technology Project with my engineering class that improved a student's life by facilitating their ability to hold school items in their lap when using their wheelchair - Built a Green Egg Table as a woodworking project
