There is always hope. Don’t think anything is impossible.
About Jamie
- I had always wanted to become a nurse.
- I worked in a hospital as a phlebotomist while going to community college.
- I had planned to start nursing school in the upcoming semester but was arrested and indicted on drug charges.
- I went to prison when I was 24 years old and was released at age 31.
- While in prison, I learned to professionally clean floors, which helped me land a job at a floor cleaning business after transitioning to a halfway house.
- After having my daughter, I got a more stable job as a front desk coordinator but it didn’t pay well enough, so I started cleaning houses on the weekends.
- My quality of work earned me enough referrals to leave my job and run my cleaning business full-time.
- In addition to running my own cleaning service, I also rent out properties on Airbnb.
