Jamie is our in-house green building specialist with a penchant for learning everything she can about regional and national green building programs and standards. She has a knack for translating & simplifying complex guidelines, and she works hard to help our builder clients create cost-effective strategies for building green. Jamie is among a small number of US green building professionals certified by the National Association of Home Builders. She spends a majority of her time meeting with builders and teaching green building practices, and she also spends some time in the field performing new home energy and green inspections.

Before joining SEM, Jamie worked in construction with Habitat for Humanity of Greater Greensboro through the Americorps program, and was also a coordinator for the NC HealthyBuilt Homes program administered by the NC Solar Center. She completed Home Energy Rater training in 2004 and is happy to consider herself a building science nerd. Jamie graduated from UNC-Greensboro with a BS in Biology, a BA in Chemistry and a minor in Communication Studies.

When she’s not playing with her pet chickens, Jamie enjoys music and would gladly play with anyone who can tolerate a beginner banjo.
