Always active in the sports and dance community, Jaime knew she wanted to be even more involved in the industry, and saw the value of nutrition in helping athletes and dancers maximize their potential, improve performance and aid in injury healing. An athlete all of her life, Jaime started dancing at the age of three and was competitive in track and field, swimming and gymnastics throughout her entire child and teenage years. In her early 20’s, Jaime re-entered the multi-sport arena where she started training and racing as a way to offset the stress and pressures of being a professional dancer in the Big Apple.
