Prior to coming aboard full-time in Kinesiology, Jamie served as the Director of the Lincoln LGBTQ+ Resource Center at Gonzaga University. She holds a doctorate in Integrative Physiology from the University of Colorado, a path that took her on a journey as a Medical Service Corps Officer in the US Navy, university lecturer, and product developer in sport nutrition. After leaving the Navy, she used the GI Bill to expand her education by earning an MBA with a focus on entrepreneurship and sustainability. This launched her into the startup business world where she helped lead a STEM Maker company and later as a mentor for new startups across the state of Minnesota. Her pandemic project was to earn another Masters, this time in Nonprofit Leadership and Management. This has been useful as the founder of The 509 Syndicate, the first soccer supporter group for the professional teams coming to Spokane. When not working or hanging with her family – which includes her wife Carrie (an ER doc at Sacred Heart), their daughter Izzy (a recent graduate of University of Oregon), and their four-legged furballs (2 mutts and 2 cats) – she spends time building things out of upcycled wood or gardening.
