Jamie has over 20 years of experience in equine reproductive medicine, with advanced specialization in Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI), embryo transfer, artificial insemination, and recipient mare management. She has a strong foundation in both laboratory precision and clinical coordination. Trained in advanced ICSI techniques in Cremona, Italy, Jamie has extensive experience performing micromanipulation procedures, embryo culture and grading, cryopreservation management, and reproductive data tracking. In addition to her technical expertise, Jamie brings over a decade of leadership experience managing equine fertility center operations.

Outside of work, she enjoys trail riding, spending time with family, and being out on the water—always making the most of the outdoors.
