Arlene Jackson is a resident of Columbia, SC, attended USC, and currently serves as Office Manager at Killingworth Home. Killingsworth is a non-profit organization designed to assist women who need a home and stability as they transition to independent living.

She was the director for female housing with Columbia Outreach Addiction and Recovery Services, Inc., for five years. During this time, as she addressed her personal hurts, habits, and hang-ups, she became an advocate for Celebrate Recovery, as well as a recovery leader.

This positioned her to help implement Celebrate Recovery at Jones Memorial AMEZC and later at Manifestation Church, both located in Columbia, SC.  Her experience now spans over 20 years.
