About Me

Some info in the third person:

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. She currently leads the grades 6-12 youth program at her non-denominational church.

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/German Shepard mix, who somehow still only stands knee high to a grasshopper.

One thought on “About Me

  1. Just read your well written article on the TPP. The article was persuasive for as far as it went – but that’s the problem. It didn’t go far enough. If you are going to weigh in with a serious commentary on a public policy issue, I suggest that you also consider the options – including what would happen if TPP doesn’t pass. I would further suggest that if TPP doesn’t pass, the labor and environmental issues that you express concern about will actually become worse! Absent TPP, do we really want to trust that China will push for tighter environmental standards and more humane labor policies?? It seems that a case can be made that TPP is better than no deal for the very reasons you oppose it! It bothers me that a position can be taken that sounds meritorious and even righteous but in effect, by opposing TPP, you’re actually ushering in a world that will likely have fewer protections for both labor and environmental concerns.
