Our Staff

Jamie was born in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, and relocated to Minnesota at age 16. Jamie graduated in 2019 from UWS with her A.A. in Addiction Studies and her BSW (Bachelor of Science in Social Work). She also has specialized training in Pediatric Forensic Interviewing, and several youth body safety, trauma, and healthy relationships curricula. She is also a facilitator for the Girls Court Moving On program out of the 6th Judicial Court House in Virginia, MN. Jamie has been with the Sexual Assault Program since 2019, where she started as an education coordinator and advocate. Jamie took over as director in 2024.

When Jamie isn’t working, she loves spending time with her family, camping, kayaking, football, and dreaming of ways to leave the world better than we found it! Jamie says the best thing she could have done was go to school, as this is where she realized how much ACE’s (Adverse Childhood Experiences) and trauma had ultimately strengthened her resiliency and drive to make changes.

With some healing and serious building of self-worth after trauma and abuse, I realized I wanted to do something to help those who are in need of support and help them in their healing journey as well! I feel strongly about helping others work to feel empowered with options to create a life that they want, where no one has to walk on eggshells to make someone else happy. Where the true meaning of love is supporting each other without feeling like you owe something in return. I am in the fight for the long haul and am not going to give up on creating services and support for victim/survivors, or the mission of the Sexual Assault Program of Northern Saint Louis County. Believe.Listen.Learn.Support.
