Hi there! I'm so glad we found each other. Here's a little bit about why we're here.
I'm interested in a life I can actually touch.
After more than 20 years of wearing a ton of different hats, I’ve learned that variety really suits me. But I’ve also learned something about the kind of life and work I want now—something more tangible, more connected, and a little closer to home. And getting here has been quite the adventure!
I spent the first part of my career in sales and catering in the hospitality industry, and more than a decade in the nonprofit world in volunteer management, fundraising, and corporate partnerships. I’ve also been a personal assistant, a property manager, and a Director at an orphanage in India.
Most recently, I spent seven years helping build a global authentic relating company, eventually running the organization after doing just about every job there was to do along the way. I was ambitious and driven, and it was thrilling to help bring such a big vision to life.
And yet, after years of building something that reached people around the world, I found myself craving work that brings me closer to the life right in front of me.
I love knowing the people around me and contributing to the communities where I actually live.
Jamie of All Trades emerged from that.
I’m not here to pretend I’m an expert at everything, but I can do a lot of things really well. I'm a quick learner and I’m resourceful, and it's really fun for me to learn something I didn't know how to do yesterday. Show me how you do it, and I’m happy to help while I learn.
I also care—a lot. When I do something, I put my whole heart into it. A simple task or a complex project, do all things with great love is truly a motto I live by.
I don’t have kids of my own, but I’m a very proud auntie, and I love getting to be a part of family life. I have a playful, creative spirit, genuinely enjoy spending time with kids, and know how much there is to juggle when you’re caring for a family, a home, animals, work, and everything else.
There's something deeply fulfilling to me about making life a little easier for good people who carry a lot.
And I feel so nourished by these connections, the unexpected conversations, and the little bit (or lotta bit!) of magic that can happen when people show up for one another in real life. I love connecting with new people, takng on interesting projects, and leaving things a little better than I found them. If I can make your life easier—and perhaps a little more joyful—while doing some of that, even better.
So if you could use an extra set of hands with a whole lot of heart, I’d love to meet you!

Love notes from good people
I had the privilege to receive Jamie’s skilled and enthusiastic support during my wellness retreat in Bali, and honestly don’t know how we would have done it without her! Her presence and care for the space and our group was such a resource for us as facilitators. Jamie truly is a woman of all trades and a woman of authentic and heartfelt care; her ability to support relational containers, logistics and organization, and problem solving on the fly is priceless and unmatched in my experience. I want Jamie at every retreat I hold!

Jamie has taken care of my two cocker Spaniels while I’ve been out of town. She gives them so much care and they love her. They get so excited when they see her, even my shy one of the two. I never have to worry about them because I know she is always giving them plenty of walks and affection. She has also weeded, harvested fruit and veggies and packaged them for freezing for me. She is a hard worker and I highly recommend her.

Two of my grandchildren decided their rooms were ‘boring,’ so Jamie stepped in to redo them. She spent time listening to what they wanted, then went to work—organizing closets, drawers, choosing paint colors, and adding the perfect finishing touches. She somehow managed to get it all done in record time while keeping the kids fully engaged and entertained along the way. When they saw their cozy, organized new rooms, they were absolutely thrilled. Jamie’s organization skills are phenomenal. I want her to do my whole house!
