~ Jaclyn, client, grant and program management
I had the pleasure of working with Jaime to develop new program designs to support higher education leaders working to develop their innovation & entrepreneurship ecosystems. The first thing that struck me about Jaime is what a phenomenal communicator she is – clear, crisp, and always authentic – and how audiences and groups respond to her because of that.
As I got to work with her further, her deep understanding of I&E, curriculum design, and teaching techniques shone through. I knew I could trust her guidance for ideas that were grounded in research and practice to make an impact for program participants. She developed frameworks, approaches, and content that center inclusion and usability, and was always an enthusiastic partner in brainstorming and iterating, coming in as a true collaborator. In addition to her impressive body of knowledge and skill set, Jaime is a joy to work with and an asset to any team.
~ Patricia, colleague, grant writing and program design
Jaime is a dynamic, innovative, and creative leader within digital learning spaces. For nearly six years I have worked with Jaime to collaborate and lead exceptional digital learning experiences for students. In her tenure, Jaime has grown projects into programs, programs into initiatives. In her role as a leader, project manager, and colleague I have learned so much from Jaime in how she approaches learning as a radical space for transformation.
She approaches work collaboratively, spends time on building relationships, and always elevates the inclusive and equitable impact on a project. Jaime’s program management includes innovative curriculum design, culturally responsive teaching practices, and student-centered pedagogy, all which have made an incredible impact on the student and faculty experience.
