With Jacobson's arrival as Chargé d'affaires, Megan Bouldin resumed duties as the deputy chief of mission at the US Embassy Dhaka.

Over the course of her distinguished career, she has served as US Ambassador three times – to Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Kosovo, and most recently, Jacobson served as a Senior Advisor in the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs.

Prior to that assignment, she served as Chargé d'affaires, at the US Embassy in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.    

In addition to her senior leadership roles overseas, Ambassador Jacobson helped to shape the future of the Foreign Service as dean of the School of Professional and Area Studies and then as deputy director of the National Foreign Affairs Training Center. 

Among Jacobson's other roles, she has served as Deputy Executive Secretary and Senior Director for Administration for the National Security Council in Washington D.C. and as Deputy Ambassador at the US Embassy, in Riga, Latvia. 

Jacobson earned her Bachelor's degree from Johns Hopkins University and her Master's degree from the School of Advanced International Studies, also at Johns Hopkins.

She is the recipient of multiple awards from the State Department, including the Secretary's Distinguished Service Award, two Presidential Rank Awards, and the Order for Peace, Democracy and Humanism "Ibrahim Rugova" (Kosovo).
