She completed her secondary education at Dayton Christian High School.

In 2009 Nokia Football Crazy was renamed Castrol Football Crazy due to changes in sponsorship and it went off air in 2010. In an interview with TheSportsCampus.com in 2009, Jamie shared that her favourite football club is Arsenal F.C., and her favourite player is Thierry Henry.[7]

        She is known for co-hosting the ESPN/Star Sports Castrol Football Crazy and Maxis Football Extra television shows in Asia.[8]
