About Jaime

Like most children raised on a Texas farm, Jaime wanted to be an astronaut. Much to her parents' disappointment, she graduated from the University of North Texas with a degree in Radio/TV/Film and moved to New York City to pursue her creative dreams. Two of her shorts are currently airing on ShortsTV.

Jaime writes end-of-innocence tales.
