Getting into recruiting, where she can strategically help companies grow from a people perspective, became a natural answer for that. Of course, finding her own purpose lead her down a winding road over the last decade.

On track to go to pharmacy school, Jaime moved from the retail floor to the pharmacy at Wegmans while still in high school, where she then spent five years learning about technology, systems, and working with people in sensitive situations — a place where making their days better became ever more important.

Her love of working directly with people inspired her switch from biochemistry at St. John Fisher College into marketing and management. In the spirit of staying busy and getting practical experience, she balanced full-time school, a full-time job as a paralegal, and nights and weekends at Wegmans before realizing that the legal field wasn’t for her. At the urging of her then-boss, she applied for and got a full-time job in Wegmans’ corporate buying department.

It was at Wegmans corporate that Jaime developed her own style of leadership, making her signature morning rounds to get face-to-face interaction each and every day. During that time, she enrolled in the MBA program at Fisher, finding her place with HR as a focus when she completed her masters in 2014.
