"Jaime wasn't just part of this school-she was this school. She built it, shaped it, and filled it with her energy and love. Her laughter will echo in the halls, her wisdom will live on in every student she guided, and her kindness will remain woven into McWilliams forever."
-Jiajie Zhang
"Jaime was a remarkable individual whose dedication, compassion, and unwavering commitment to education left an indelible mark on our institution and on everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. Her legacy will continue to inspire us, and her presence will be profoundly missed."
-Ayesha Siddiqui
"I was a student at SBMI, I live in Monterrey and did some research presentations at SBMI and won some scholarships, Jamie helped me apply for some scholarships and helped me continue with my education at SBMI."
-MSBMI Alumni
"Jaime was one of the first relationships I made when I first came to HIMSS.... I would always make it a point to find UTHealth on the show floor just so I could stop by and talk with her."
-Mara Daiker
"I work at MD Anderson's School of Health Professions and had the pleasuring of
'bumping' into Jaime when we would travel for recruitment. She was an amazing person filled with energy, compassion, honesty and strong work ethic. I often reached out to Jaime as she was always helpful, resourceful, knowledgeable and open to sharing information. Jaime will be greatly missed."
-Nghi Do-Ferreira
"Jaime hired me almost 15 years ago to work for UTH, blindly, this was always a running joke. Jaime was always full of life, always willing to share her knowledge and gave the best advice. I will miss her walking through the halls shouting my name or asking if I had brought lunch! As much as her work family is hurting, I know her family and close friends are hurting even more! Jaime, work will never be the same without you around! Keep cheering us on like you always did!"
