In years past, Jamie has been a hotel housekeeper, a graveyard shift donut fryer, and a welfare recipient, as well as an attorney, White House intern, and an elected official. More recently, Jamie has published three children's books, including a Barnes and Nobles “Best of” for 2023.

In addition to her children's books, Jamie is a published poet and ghostwriter, as well as an essayist and contributing writer for various print and online publications. She has also worked for or volunteered with at-risk youth and their families since 1995, both through direct services and advocacy efforts.

Jamie attended M.Div. programs at both Fuller Theological Seminary and Chicago Theological Seminary. Previously, Jamie graduated magna cum laude from Texas Tech University where she majored in both English and Political Science, and received her law degree from UC Berkeley School of Law (Boalt Hall). She practiced dependency law for several years before opening her own law office, where she represented low-income women in domestic violence and family law cases. Now a writer and editor, Jamie’s background as a public interest attorney serves her well as she writes about issues of poverty, gender equality, disability, and social and juvenile justice, among other things.

Jamie has four children and is married to Andy, who is the founder and director of the One America Movement. Her best friend is Oscar, a Lab/Shepard mix, who somehow still only stands knee high to a grasshopper.
