Jamie has been volunteering at Southern Oregon Humane Society, in her hometown, since 2006 and began volunteering at Heart of the Valley Animal Shelter of Bozeman three years ago.

Jamie is active in multiple campus organizations including president of the Pre-veterinary Club at MSU, the treasurer of Alpha Zeta, and a member of the National Society of Collegiate Scholars. In her downtime she enjoys fishing, hiking with her Labrador, taking pictures, hanging out with friends, and volunteering in the community. In the future Jamie hopes to work for a well-established veterinary hospital and be proud of herself for never giving up on her life dreams.
