Jamie attended Brigham Young University (BYU) and graduated with a Master's degree in Neuropsychology. She was involved with research at her earliest opportunity and was fortunate to work in neuroimaging labs both at BYU and Stanford University where she was involved with the publication of various research studies ranging from corpus callosum morphology in autism to cerebral atrophy in combat veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder to limbic system morphometrics in pediatric traumatic brain injury. Fascinated with the human brain's staggering complexity, incredible ability to adapt and its multiplicity of still-unknowns, Jamie is thrilled to be a part of the University of Utah's TBICC lab in order to experience the scientific method first-hand with the hopes of creating mechanisms to better understand neurological pathologies and injuries and thereby generating improved recovery and treatment strategies.
