Jamie received her undergraduate degree from University of Missouri-St. Louis and graduate degree from Goldfarb School of Nursing. While working on her undergraduate degree, she worked at Barnes-Jewish Hospital as a unit secretary and patient care tech before becoming a nurse in the Medical ICU. She left the institution to travel and eventually started working at UCSD and Northwestern Memorial for several years in critical care. Upon return to St. Louis, she began working at Barnes-Jewish Hospital again, in the Surgical/Trauma/Burn ICU while obtaining her advanced practice degree. After graduating as a nurse practitioner, she joined the Washington University Acute & Critical Care Surgery group for over 8 years prior to transitioning to Barnes-Jewish Palliative Care in early 2022. Today, she specializes in our Neuro-Critical Care Unit helping patients and families through critical illness.
