Jackson joined Good Day Austin, FOX 7’s morning news team, on Tuesday, September 8, according to her Instagram post. Prior to that, Jackson worked for KCEN, an NBC-affiliated television station in Temple, a town between Austin and Waco.
In her farewell message to the KCEN community on August 26, Jackson said she covered a wide variety of news topics in the area over the past two years including education, ranching, data centers, crime and more. KCEN was Jackson’s first job after graduating from the University of Mississippi in 2024.
“I am deeply grateful to everyone I’ve met who trusted me to share their stories, from their happiest moments to their most difficult times,” she wrote on Instagram. “To all of my coworkers who have become like family, I couldn’t have done it without each of you. Stepping into this job right after college, I’ve grown immensely as a person, and I sincerely thank everyone who has been part of this journey.”
Jackson concluded her post by teasing her plans to stay in Texas, which coincides with the recent announcement of her new gig at FOX 7.
“I’m so excited to join the @fox7austin team as their Morning Reporter,” she announced. “The station has welcomed me with open arms, and I can’t wait to continue covering what’s most important to Texans. Let’s do this!!!!”
You can catch her on air weekdays starting at 5 a.m.
