Professional career
After her college playing career was over, she played in various international leagues due to the lack of women's professional basketball leagues in the United States. Jackson was a member of the United States women's national basketball teams that won a world championship in 1990, and a bronze medal at the 1992 Summer Olympics.[7]
When the WNBA began play in 1997, the Houston Comets picked Jackson in the second round of the 1997 WNBA Draft and she became one of the original players in the league. She played all but two games of her WNBA career with the Comets, mostly in a reserve role, as she played in 143 games and started nine of them.[8] She was with the Comets when they won the three of their first four WNBA titles from 1997 to 2000. She retired at age 39 in 2002; at the time, she was the oldest player in the WNBA.
