Aliya Jackson - El Krimate

I started wanted to become a veterinarian ever since I was very young. I started caring for two hamsters and my grandparents' dog as a child. I loved watching various television shows to understand more about animals (mostly) wildlife.

While in high school, I went to a Magnet school that focused on Animal Sciences. Yes, I did graduate. After high school, I had difficulty finding my way until this lady pulled me aside and asked, "What does your gut say?" That was it! I went out of state (Georgia) and got my BS in Veterinary Technology because many of the Vet Tech schools only went up to an AA degree, which was not good enough for me. Animals were and still is my life, and I will help them no matter what.

Then life happened. This is not what you are going to do. I fell into becoming a Screenwriter, and my first script was sold and turned into a movie called "Cover" a drama.

I'm working on another script called "Full-Figured," which is another drama. When scripts don't get picked up immediately, my plan B is to return to what I know about medicine. I went to UCLA Phlebotomy Extension and have worked on humans in this field for 11 years.

My next adventure in my life, I am acquiring about becoming a Doula and Coding. The reason why I do so much is that I never want to stop learning. Just imagine, with all of my experiences, I can go anywhere in the world and survive. That is the key to life.
