Her working style

Jamie in real life
What keeps you busy outside of work?
My family is the most important thing in this world. I also like to travel and experience other cultures and food and SCUBA dive.
Any words you try to live by?
I live by the words of Albert Einstein, “Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.”
Favorite thing about where you live?
While many people would say it’s crazy to live in Rochester, New York, we do have four seasons, beautiful lakes and parks, and the Buffalo Bills!
