Hi, I'm Jaime!
Jaime is a joyful actress, dancer, singer, teaching artist, and creative who brings a little bit of sparkle wherever she goes.
She graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of Central Florida in 2024, where she earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Acting and a Minor in Dance (Go Knights, Charge On)! Jaime also believes that the most authentic performers are the ones who find balance with their lives outside of the craft, so she was also very involved at her university. In between rehearsals and classes, Jaime was 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.
​
Now, you can find Jaime performing professionally at various theme parks in the Orlando area (Universal Orlando, Walt Disney World, SeaWorld Orlando, & Legoland Florida Resort)! She was part of the opening team for Universal's Epic Universe, helping originate her role in the Wizarding World and is now a trainer there, as well as a performer! Jaime has also been working on original short films, some of which have won"Best Indie Short"at the 2025 Los Angeles Short Film Awards and "Best Short Film" at the 2025 Fort Myers Film Festival. You may also see her performance capture as Dorothy in OZDA Production's Wonderful Dining Adventure in Oz with the help of Zanim8tion. ​
​
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 gotten to share her passion for performing by teaching dance to children ages 2-10 at her childhood dance studio, Pure Energy Dance Centre, as well as teaching Theater, Creative Drama, and Baby & Me classes as a Lead Teaching Artist at Orlando Family Stage.
​
When Jaime is not performing or teaching, you can probably find her kickstarting a new board game, reading a cozy YA Fantasy series, scrapbooking her memory jar, practicing hand-lettering, eating French macarons, or finding a new pair of sparkly sunglasses to add to her collection!
