Much like many of you, Jayme is still searching for the perfect job. She recently freelanced at The Knot magazine and has since been busy freelancing, bartending and hanging out with Ed while she job hunts. She got her BA in 2006 from DePaul University in Chicago, where she was born and raised (well actually, raised in Elmhurst, a suburb just 20 minutes outside of the city). After working for nearly 2 years as a creative project manager, she decided to pack up and move to NYC to explore new career options, and she now lives in a teeny apartment in the magnificent East Village.
3 Things You Might Want to Know: 1. For as long as she can remember, she has wanted to be a writer and still has copies of the poetry and short stories she wrote in grammar school. 2. Aside from her passion for writing and editing, her first love will always be music and all things related to it (she even played DJ once at a bar in the East Village!). 3. Jayme loves NYC, but hates living so far from her family, especially her three younger brothers.
3 Things You Really Didn’t Need to Know: 1. Jayme has always had a healthy obsession with Michael Jackson (and has resisted all urges to flourish this bio with lyrics and song titles), and she will DJ your MJ memorial party for a small fee. 2. Jayme is a self-proclaimed wine-o: her vices are a crisp and chilly Sauvignon Blanc in the summer or a smooth, California Cabernet in the fall. She’s an avid host of “pizza and wine nights” and will plan your party for a small fee. 3. Though she is trained to write succinctly, she loves to write very long-winded emails and will write yours for a small fee.
