Growing up in a frugal Chinese family, the culture of repurposing and conserving resources has always been part of Jackson's life, so he naturally became very passionate about environmental issues. Inspired by the film "Happening: A Clean Energy Revolution", Jackson started fervently researching environmental solutions and implementing greener practices on the set of Netflix's "GLOW", where he worked as the Writers' PA for two seasons. After seeing the impact he had on set, Jackson flowed into the role of the Eco Production Coordinator for more shows including Netflix's "Space Force" and an Apple show and supporting roles for green production training for shows including Amazon's "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel," Barry Jenkins' "Underground Railroad" and CBS's "Evil" through Earth Angel Sustainable Production Services, where he also acted as a researcher, designer, copywriter, presenter and video producer. He earned his TRUE Zero Waste Advisor title during his time at Earth Angel.

Jackson's passion in environmental research also led him to earn the Certificate in Sustainability at the University of California Los Angeles and become the Arts & Media Coordinator at Sunrise Movement Los Angeles, coordinating, filming and editing social media videos with immediate deadlines focusing on policy communication, action mobilization and recruitment. He also strategized with Sunrise National's Video Network and trained the LA hub for brand consistency. Jackson extended his social media video work to The Climate Reality Project Los Angeles, where he also strategized, created and presented a Climate Reality training focused on Environmental Justice for the LA Cleantech Incubator's Founders Business Accelerator. Jackson also served as an Education Ambassador at Oceanic Global for their partnership with Corona USA's "Protect Our Beaches" campaign.
