Jamie grew up in northern New Jersey and currently lives in Philadelphia. He holds a BA in Economics from Union College and an MPS in Global Development from Cornell University. His deep interest in sustainability has taken him in a number of directions throughout his career, from the energy department of a large pharmaceutical company to an organic farm and then to an NGO in Nepal. These experiences have allowed him to develop a unique breadth of knowledge, which he looks forward to utilizing during his Matchmaker fellowship.

When not working, Jamie enjoys hiking, kayaking, gardening and just about anything else that gets him outside.
