Jamie grew up in Bakersfield, CA with a love of all animals. That passion led her receiving her Bachelor’s Degree in Animal Science at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. Jamie moved on to earn her Masters of Animal Science at Oklahoma State where she worked in a lab that concentrated on low-nutrient excretion experiments and antibiotic alternatives. In 2011 Jamie graduated with her Ph.D. of Dairy Science from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. Jamie started her career working for Purina Animal Nutrition as a Dairy Marketing Nutritionist before moving to Phibro Animal Health Corp as a Dairy Technology Manager.

Jamie’s heart was truly in the central valley which led her back home and joining the Alpha Dairy team in 2017 as a Nutrition Consultant. In Jamie’s free time she loves running, spending time with her family, friends, and fur baby, Lincoln. Jamie also mentors college-aged women with her sorority Sigma Kappa.
