Born and raised in California, after spending much of her time as a chlorinated competitive swimmer Jamie moved to Scotland (allegedly for a year or two) in 2005. Prior to the move, she participated in her first marathon in NYC, pleased to finish and tick the marathon box, not expecting to do much running ever again! Since living in Scotland, though, Jamie has taken up trail running, mountain biking, kayaking and the freedom of Right to Roam. Along with her partner, Andy, she can regularly be found at the local hills, lochs and trails doing various activities, often with her rescue dogs, Pirate and Hope (collectively known as The Fluffs).
