In February, Jackson, 27, pleaded guilty to causing death by dangerous driving and two counts of causing serious injury by dangerous driving.
Making a victim impact statement to the court, Aalia’s mother Samira Shafi described Aalia as the “most amazing daughter” and said losing her had left an “unbearable void”.
“We were like sisters and best friends,” she said.
“We would watch TV, cook together, go to concerts together, we travelled the world together, had dinner together.
“When you lose a child, you don’t just lose a presence of someone in your life, you lose a part of yourself.”
Referring to Jackson, she said: “This man brought her bright future to an end.
“Instead of celebrating her graduation I’m choosing words for her gravestone.”
Aalia’s brother Zain described his sister as a “genius with a smile that could cut through steel”.
“She was more than a sister, she was my best friend… my hero,” he added.
