Acting · Character Development · Choreography

Jaime is so excited to join the SCC team as a “Theatre, Song & Dance” teacher. Jaime has had a natural flare for acting since she was a little girl, constantly acting out scenes from movies, and playing games such as “Jaime wolf” with her grandma at the age of 3 (her own version of the big bad wolf). She began taking acting classes at the age of 8 and was very often cast in the lead, and at the age of 12 landed a role playing the leads younger self in an Indy film entitled “crush”. She continued acting through high school and college, and has run her own amateur theatre troupe in every city she has lived since 2014 for which she is the artistic director, and choreographer. She is very passionate about the arts and finds so much joy in seeing her students thrive and come into their own passion. She adores working during spooky season as a Scare Actor at Knotts Scary Farm. Jaime has training in Highland Dance, jazz, Polynesian, and is currently taking aerial and circus at SCC. Jaime has been having a blast sharing her knowledge and experience of acting, character development, musical theatre and choreography to her students and is excited to see where this journey brings her.
