She was a graduate of Parkersburg South High School and graduated from West Virginia University at Parkersburg with a degree in Elementary Education.

She was previously employed by the YMCA, a substitute teacher with Wood County Schools, the Kids Casa daycare and as pre-school teacher at the First Baptist Church in Williamstown, WV. For several years, she was also the JV volleyball coach and Varsity softball coach at Williamstown High School.

Jaime was also a member of New Hope Baptist Church. She volunteered a lot of her time with the youth ministries and she enjoyed teaching the Bible to children and loved attending church camp every year at Camp Cowan.
