Our Tutoring Leadership Team

Jamie is a dynamic leader at OWLearners, driven by her passion for supporting students and advocating for their educational needs. She completed a combined Bachelor of Economics and Bachelor of Laws from the University of Technology Sydney in only four years, demonstrating her exceptional work ethic and commitment to excellence.

After graduating, Jamie worked as a solicitor, where she managed complex financial transactions, honing her analytical skills and deepening her understanding of intricate legal frameworks. However, after a few years in the corporate sector, she found herself missing the rewarding environment of teaching, which she had enjoyed throughout university as a tutor. This realisation inspired her to co-found OWLearners, where she could help create a supportive and inclusive learning environment for all students.

Outside of her professional pursuits, Jamie is an avid runner, frequently participating in local events that challenge her both physically and mentally.Jamie loves spending time with her dog, often taking her on outdoor adventures. Additionally, her love for animals drives her to volunteer at local veterinary clinics, where she can contribute to the care and well-being of other animals.
