Jade Walker

Data Specialist Jade D. Walker was born on the Air Force Base of Torrejon, Spain, where her parents relocated back to the United States in 1988 in Camp Springs, Maryland. Living as a resident of Prince George’s County for nearly 20 years Jade has fond memories of walking to Forestville Mall, from school with her friends to get some delicious snickerdoodles or a slushie. She enjoys traveling to many different places with her mother to see and experience different cultures such as Greece, Switzerland, France, and the next country to visit is Peru to view the ruins of Machu Picchu.

Jade attended West Virginia Wesleyan initially but decided that she wanted to begin pursuing a career as soon as possible, in addition to attending school full time. Thus she moved back to Maryland and attended the University of Maryland University College for her Bachelors in Psychology and Masters in Environmental Science. As she progressed with her career, Jade realized that one of her most marketable skills was her approach to data and making it accessible to national as well as local decision-makers. To hone these skills and gather more experience, Jade currently volunteers as a Research Associate for the National Organization of Retired State Troopers (NORST) and Smithsonian Educational Research Center (SERC). She has provided technical and programmatic leadership responsibilities as well as support various research opportunities focused on environmental preservation and social justice. To further her expertise in data modeling and research she is currently working on applying to Howard University to focus on Ph. D in Sociology specializing in Social Inequality.
