Jaimie is a Texan, a Floridian, and a proud first-generation daughter of Chinese immigrants. She holds a bachelor’s degree in cultural anthropology from Duke University and is pursuing a master’s degree in communications management at the University of Southern California’s Annenberg School of Communications and Journalism.
