Chris Bonebreak Jackson: The Path from High School to Colleges Like MIT (PART 2)
Today, I am very excited to speak with Dr. Chris Bonebreak Jackson. A graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Dr. Bonebreak Jackson was initially a mechanical engineer and pursued that field throughout college before becoming a bond trader. After that, she decided to move in a different direction with orthodontics, studying at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine. Now, Dr. Bonebreak Jackson is the Director of Clinical Affairs at LightForce Orthodontics and holds several patents.
