Jamie joined the NPCC team in 2024. Jamie is passionate about supporting collaborative groups so they can build connections with one another, recognize each person’s strengths, and accomplish shared goals to benefit the health of their communities.

Before joining NPCC, Jamie facilitated work groups and managed projects for county public health departments in California and Oregon. She also coordinated regional, cross-sector collaboration for a community health organization in Southwest Washington. For the first decade of her career, Jamie supported communities underserved by public programs so they could access basic needs resources and engage in policy advocacy. She did this work in the education, health care, and nonprofit sectors in the United States and Latin America. 

Jamie has a master's degree in public health from the University of Washington and a bachelor's degree in international studies, sociology, and Spanish from Saint Louis University. 

She enjoys running, hiking, and traveling with her family and friends.
