The Gannon & Scott team has recently expanded its team with the addition of Jackie DeRosa as Smelter Relations Coordinator. As a recent graduate of the University of Rhode Island, Jackie earned her Bachelor of Science in Human development and family sciences. “Through this degree, I have grown and fostered my techniques as a people person which is a major asset, especially with interpersonal skills. I have learned a variety of different subjects through this degree that contribute to everyday life personally and professionally,” Jackie shares. In this new role, she is committed to coordinating the shipments of materials, managing related documentation, and streamlining the shipment process.
Before setting out to pursue a career in refining, Jackie gained valuable experience as a florist, exporting their products to different companies and carrying out their orders throughout the US. She transitioned to a teaching role, further expanding her diverse skill set. Jackie says, “I wanted to branch out to be in a more challenging yet rewarding field. Gannon and Scott has allowed me to pursue a career where I can foster my strengths while gaining experience in precious metal refining.” She became aware of Gannon & Scott through our Marketing and Customer Service Associate, Jaslene Bourdeau, who spoke highly of the supportive environment within the team.
Gannon & Scott’s newest Smelter Relations Coordinator is eager to learn from experienced colleagues and contribute to the company’s success by taking on new versatile challenges. “I am interested in learning about each step of the company and really seeing the process once I begin,” Jackie adds.
We’re excited to welcome Jackie to Gannon & Scott. We believe that she will strengthen our capabilities and commitment to the industry. We look forward to all the impressive contributions that she will make here.”

Jackie is very enthusiastic about working with a friendly, kind, and intelligent team of professionals. In her approach to teamwork and collaboration, she emphasizes “active listening skills, being open to all perspectives at all times, being flexible, and offering encouraging feedback and accepting feedback is my key to a successful team.”
Outside of work, Jackie has an interest in playing volleyball, baking, reading, and outdoor activities. In a fun twist, she was once featured in her hometown newspaper for building a snowman. This reflects her creativity and cheerfulness.
Jackie is ready to step into this role with an ambitious goal of focusing on continuous learning and driving the team's success with trust, patience, and acceptance. “Some advice for others looking to join the industry is that having an open mind is one of the best attributes you can have,” Jackie believes.
