Jamie is on a mission to end sexual violence, educate others active bystander intervention, and uplift the fraternity and sorority life experience. She cares deeply for the development and growth of not just college students but young professionals in the field of higher education.

She is a wife, sister, sorority woman, survivor of sexual violence, and student affairs professional in higher education. She enjoys coffee, yoga, REALLY long walks, and watching old episodes of Gossip Girl and Greek. Did we mention she is a sorority woman?!

Fraternity and sorority is woven through her blood, sweat and tears. Jamie has been working with college students for over 10 years in a variety of roles including working for an inter/national sorority, on college campuses, and through facilitating and speaking.

Jamie graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Journalism, and a minor in Leadership from the University of Rhode Island. After graduating she spent some time working in sales and for a social media marketing company. Shortly after, she worked for her inter/national organization in a variety of roles as a consultant, membership manager, and house director. After that Jamie went to Northeastern University for her Master’s in College Student Development and Counseling and for the past three years she has been working at the University of New Hampshire overseeing the Fraternity and Sorority Life community there.

Feel free to browse the topics below to learn about what she offers, and how she can help YOU make a lasting impact on others! All programs can be in person or virtual, keynotes or facilitated program.

This program aims to tell Jamie's personal and professional story about the ways in which sorority made her who she is (with good and challenging chapters along the way), and the ways we all could do better. During her time as a student, she was sexually assaulted, participated in hazing, watched hazing, and got hazed. She now works with students and chapters each day to develop new member education and curriculum that helps students come to their own conclusions that hazing should not be tolerated. She speaks to the power of creating a culture of care that will help the sorority/ fraternity movement grow and transform. She saw how she and others acted in situations of violence and spaces where they all had the opportunity to act and be a change-maker. For years she wrestled with the feeling of not being able to catch her breath; because she knows there is a story to tell here. A story about strength in humans and the development of someone’s brain in traumatic situations. Looking back at her story, and the stories of many people when they decide to not act or act, many people regret not making the right decision. Jamie hopes to engage the audience in learning that fight or flight in those traumatic situations is very normal but what many do not talk about is how many of us FREEZE and that it is also a very normal response to trauma. If we can understand that, we can start the process of true intervention.

Jamie wants to empower audiences to react, advocate, and make decisions to pave the way for a better sorority or fraternity experience in the future- for them and their brothers and sisters. The goal of this program is for attendees to see that there are many small moments in someone’s experience in sorority/fraternity (or any organization) to make a difference and change situations for the better, and to give them some tools in their toolkit to bring home with them.

This program can be shifted to focus on sexual assault and bystander intervention and/or hazing and bystander intervention, but not both.

Keynote and facilitated workshop learning objectives:

1. Participants will hear and actively listen to real life forms of hazing and sexual violence.
2. Participants will learn definitions and have an understanding for bystander intervention, hazing, and/or sexual violence and assault prevention.
3. Participants will take away realistic and strategic ways to combat sexual violence and/or hazing.

If a facilitated workshop, learning objectives:

1. Participants will enage in conversations and discussions to dismantle hazing mentality and culture or sexual assault and rape culture
2. Participants will listen, learn, and engage in this highly interactive workshop

Ideal Audience: Sorority Life, Fraternity and Sorority Communities, Panhellenic Organizations, Women’s Groups, Residence Life, Sexual Assault and Bystander Intervention Trainings, Hazing Presentations, New Student Programming

By utilizing traditional tactics and integrating non-traditional methods, groups will be able to practice telling their story. Groups that get to engage with this keynote or workshop will understand their brand, and truly get to the realization that who we recruit matters. That may sound really obvious but many times organizations focus on a lot more than the potential new member/associate member. Groups that understand who they are, where they want to be, and how they operate in the larger campus/college community ultimately recruit well. Groups that go through this keynote/training will understand that they will have better retention when potentials are recruited based on truth, brand, and honest experiences.

Jamie offers personalized recruitment, retention, and conversation skills workshops and facilitated engagements for all types of groups on a college campus. With many years of planning, and executing primary Panhellenic Recruitment and Interfraternity Recruitment on college campuses, Jamie is here to help your councils and chapters grow and do it by thinking outside the box.

Learning objectives:

1. Participants will learn about strategies to engage in a highly authentic and honest recruitment.
2. Participants will have an understanding that strength in recruitment is not really what they have always been told.
3. Participants will gain value in understanding the importance of their collective brand and real; honest organizational culture.

* This program can be customized to your organizations, councils, chapters, and/or recruitment counselor training

Ideal Audience: Fraternity and Sorority Life, Panhellenic Organizations, Panhellenic Communities, Interfraternity Communities, IFC Chapters, Multicultural Greek Organizations

Does your Panhellenic chapter, national organization, or council need a deep dive in anti-racism? Want to work together on how to dismantle white supremacy and racist ideaologies within process, policy, and procedure in panhellenic recruitment? Well, this program might be perfect. This program intends to build community, identify issues within the current recruitment process, and help the participants take steps to creating a truly anti-racist process. Think about the microaggressions and overt racist actions that happen within the process, and now think about how if we all work together this experience can truly be a place for POC and Black women to come together and truly feel included. If you have ever been told to wear nude heels, straighten your hair, or be taken back when you have read a policy that seemed to exclude WOC, then this program can help!

This program is based on the popular programming Jamie offered in June 2020 called Nude Heels. Are you looking to truly make change and take those steps together? This program could be the right fit for your chapter, organization, or community!

Learning objectives:

1. Participants are brought together to have a conversation and actively learn from each other.
2. Participants will be put in virtual spaces (virtual or in person) that help to create space to identify and share ways that racism, microaggressions, and white supremacy is integrated within sorority Panhellenic recruitment.
3. Participants leave feeling empowered to take the next steps to create change in their spheres of influence as it relates to helping themselves, their organizations, their chapters become Anti-racist.
