She is known for her ability to navigate complex political and labor environments while building systems that promote accountability, equity, and sustained organizational effectiveness.

While at BCRP in 2018, Jacia played a central role in leading a comprehensive organizational reorganization designed to improve operational efficiency, clarify roles, and position the organization for long-term sustainability. Her leadership emphasized talent development, cross-functional collaboration, and the constructive resolution of conflict.

Previously, Jacia served as Deputy Director of HR Operations for Baltimore City’s Department of Human Resources (“DHR”), where she provided strategic leadership across policy and compliance, training and development, recruitment and talent acquisition, and classification and compensation. In that role, she led enterprise-wide initiatives that modernized human resources infrastructure, including civil service rule reform and the successful adoption of amendments through the Civil Service Commission. Earlier, as DHR’s Chief Policy Advisor, she advised executive leadership and organizational partners on the interpretation and application of employment laws, labor agreements, and workforce policy.

Before assuming government roles, Jacia served at Montgomery College, where she held leadership positions including Director of Labor Relations and Assistant General Counsel. In these roles, she led collective bargaining, advised on grievance and arbitration matters, and partnered with institutional leadership on labor strategy, employment law, and organizational risk.
