Jamie grew up as the eldest of six kids in her Catholic homeschooling family. She lives in the Dallas area and spends her time instructing and choreographing all styles of dance at local studios, but her passion is tap dance. Jamie is an Assistant Director and Instructor with Rhythmic Soul’s Tap Company and trains dancers local to the Dallas area, as well as nationally online. She loves instructing the next generation of tap dancers and continues to perform herself with Rhythmic Soul’s Pro Company.

In her free time, you can find her making orders for her Catholic business, Saintly Sacrifices, or visiting a local coffee shop with a friend.
