About Me

Hi, I'm Jaime!

​

Jaime is a joyful actress, dancer, singer, teaching artist, and creative. She recently graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of Central Florida, where she earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Acting and a Minor in Dance (Go Knights, Charge On)!

​

Post-grad, you will find Jaime working as a performer at a couple of theme parks and teaching at Orlando Family Stage! As a film actress, Jaime has recently wrapped a new short film called Attempt 101, and is currently in production for a new music video where she will portray the female lead. You may also see her performance capture as Dorothy in OZDA Production's Wonderful Dining Adventure in Oz  with the help of Zanim8tion. 

​

As a theater performer, she recently closed Grease, The Sound of Music, and 9 to 5  at Timber Lake Playhouse—where she also made her regional choreographer debut for their TYA show, Pig Tales!

​

An experienced dancer, she has trained for the past 19 years at both the recreational and collegiate levels in the following styles: Musical Theater, Jazz, Tap, Lyrical, Ballet, Modern, and Hip-Hop. She has also gotten to share her passion for performing by teaching dance to children ages 2-10 at her childhood dance studio, Pure Energy Dance Centre.

 

When Jaime is not performing, you can probably find her whipping up some delicious cake pops, freelance writing, practicing hand-lettering, or finding a new board game or pair of sparkly sunglasses to add to her collections! Jaime was also very involved at her university. She has been an Orientation Leader for First Year Experience, a Marketing Associate at Dining Services, a Content Curator for Strike Magazine, and a member of the Morale Impact team for Dance Marathon at UCF.
