Jamie has worked at the intersection of documentary film and social justice organizing for the past decade. She's currently the Executive Director of Peace is Loud, a nonprofit founded by filmmaker Abigail Disney that has led impact campaigns for films including Pray the Devil Back to Hell, The Uncondemned, The Hunting Ground, and The Bleeding Edge. She was previously Community Engagement and Education Manager for the PBS series POV, where she worked on broadcast campaigns for over 40 feature documentary films.
She frequently speaks about strategies for using documentary film to advance social movements, with recent talks at The U.S. Naval War College, The Fletcher School of Law & Diplomacy, and The NEXUS Global Summit at the United Nations.
Jamie serves on the grants advisory committee of the New York Women’s Foundation and the mentorship board for Northwestern University's MFA program in documentary film. Her directorial debut film Shivani was an official selection for Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) Doc Fortnight 2018.
