Jamie is a great success story from Vancouver Island. She started her career with Claremont Secondary while playing club for the Victoria Volleyball Association. She helped them win silver at the 18U Indoor Nationals. Jamie played both beach and indoor volleyball throughout her high school and collegiate years where she stayed close to home at Malaspina University College, winning silver and bronze at the CCAA Nationals in 2004 and 2006. During her time in university, Jamie was making a name for herself on the beach stage winning U18 Beach, U20 and U24 Beach Nationals while representing Canada at multiple FIVB Beach World Championships around the world. Jamie moved to the Lower Mainland where she then played for the UBC Thunderbirds Women’s Volleyball team for two years helping them capture the CIS Championship in 2008 while being named a tournament all-star. That same year she was also named to the National Beach Volleyball team and went on to become one of the most decorated Beach Volleyball athletes to come out of this province. Jamie’s 11-year beach volleyball career with Team Canada saw her achieve many great accomplishments including NORCECA titles in 2013, 2015, 2016 and 2017. She also became the first Canadian Woman (along with partner Kristina Valjas) to win an FIVB World Tour medal, capturing gold in China in 2015 where they beat Kerri Walsh and April Ross on the way to the crown. That victory helped Jamie achieve one of her dreams to represent Canada in the Olympic Games which she did in 2016 with a 9th place finish in Rio De Janerio. Jamie continued to excel after that achievement, collecting more hardware with gold and bronze medals at the Senior Beach Volleyball Nationals in 2017 & 2018 and gold and silver medals at the Vancouver Open in 2018 & 2019. Jamie is now Vice President and one of the partners of BCO Volleyball Club in North Vancouver.
