| | Jaime was born on 23 September 1984, and she has lived in Plainville all her life. She always loved music even as an infant. At two and a half, seh learned to read words, and reading music soon followed. At age 9, she entered the music program at her elementary school, and chose to learn the alto saxophone. She surprised her teacher, and her parents, by learning the instrument very quickly. Jaime started arranging music that same year, when she was in fourth grade. As her musical talents excelled, so did her academic talents, she was double promoted, and she skipped fifth grade. By the end of junior high (eighth grade) Jaime was a very talented soloist. The high school she chose to attend, Tri-County Regional Vocational Techniacl High School, unfortunately doesn't have a music program, so Jaime continues to play on her own, but not in an ensemble. In the beginning of this school year, a freshman in high school, Jaime started composing. As of right now, she only has a couple of major works, but as her talents grow, so will her works.
When Jaime is not composing, she sings lead in a women's barbershop chorus, called the Harmonettes, a member of Harmony, Incorporated. She also is involved on her school's volleyball, wrestling, and track teams and the school drama club. At her vocational school, she is majoring in Auto Body Repair.
