As a four-year varsity starter on the basketball team, Jamie scored over 1400 points in her career, and in 2001 she led the Mariners to their last SCCAL team championship. Jamie’s teams qualified for CCS every year, reaching the quarter-finals twice, the semi-finals once, and in 2001, losing to Archbishop Mitty in the CCS Championship game, where Jamie scored 11 points. Jamie was a three-year first-team All-SCCAL and All-County selection, and in 2004 she was a McDonald’s All-American nominee. Her senior year, Jamie averaged 13.8 points and 5 rebounds a game.  She was also the 2004 Aptos High School Female Athlete-of-the-Year. From Aptos, Jamie headed east to the University of Hartford, Connecticut. With Jamie, the Hawks won three America East Conference championships and played in three NCAA tournaments, including 2006, when they upset #6 seed Temple 64-58 in the first-round, and 2008, when they upset #7 seed Syracuse 59-55 in the first-round. Jamie was a team captain her senior year. She left Hartford as the #8 career scorer in three-pointers, and her four years at Hartford were the most successful four years in Hartford women’s basketball history. The Hawks compiled a record of 102-28 during Jamie’s career, and earned a team-best national ranking of #26 in 2008. Jamie graduated from Hartford with a degree in Business, with a focus on Market and Management. Today, Jamie lives in Capitola and works for Plantronics in Product Marketing.
