Jackie Wattles is a writer for CNN Space & Science, covering all things related to outer space and humanity's renewed push to explore deep space. She specializes in coverage of commercial companies involved in the spaceflight industry as the world of rockets, satellites and space travel becomes increasingly privatized.
Previously, Wattles covered the space industry under the CNN Business team, which she first joined in 2015 as a breaking news and general assignment writer.
Born and raised in the Austin, Texas area, Wattles graduated with honors from the University of Connecticut, where she was a scholarship volleyball athlete and an editor for the campus newspaper. She attended the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism.
