Jaime and her husband, Jeremy, are the parents to two sons: Lucas is a junior at Purdue University majoring in unmanned aerial systems and Landon is a junior at Scottsburg High School. They live in Lexington with their two dogs, Percy and Falkor.

Jaime attended Ivy Tech State College for her associate’s degree in business administration before deciding that she wanted to work in the community. She then graduated from Indiana University Southeast with her bachelor’s degree in sociology, and has a graduate certificate in nonprofit management from IUPUI.

Jaime served in the Indiana Army National Guard for over 12 years. Upon returning from Afghanistan in 2005, she was able to finish her last couple classes at IUS that had to be delayed due to the yearlong deployment. One of these included an internship at the Scott County Community Foundation as a communications coordinator, and she has served with the Foundation ever since! 

She enjoys spending time with her family, reading, watching movies, traveling and spending time with family on the Tennessee River every summer. She is her sons’ number one fan at their sporting events!

Jaime enjoys many volunteer opportunities through work, including serving as a board member of the Scott County Partnership and Leadership Southern Indiana. She also enjoys volunteering in the schools for mock interviews, Kiwanis Club, Reality Store, and the Amazing Shake.

“The quote, ‘If you do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life’ is so true! What’s not to love about the Community Foundation? We think long-term, past not what just affects us today, but will affect our children and grandchildren tomorrow. I love being a part of our programs that affect youth, such as our Youth Grantmaking Council and Dolly Parton Imagination Library. Both my sons have been impacted by these programs, and my oldest son is now using those philanthropic skills at college with his fraternity. We have a great small community and so many people who are committed to making it a great place to live, and I’m thankful to be a part of that,” said Jaime.
