Jamie Crosbie might not have planned to stay in Phoenix, but she's glad she's here now.
The former math teacher quit her job after realizing how little learning actually happens with politicians controlling the curriculum and decided she needed to say goodbye to Texas, too. She worked a few short gigs, packed up her husband and their things in a van and set off to find something better. After two months of traveling, her journey brought her to Phoenix. The 23 year old got a job as a Retirement Plan Administrator, found a nice little bungalow and parked the van.
One of her favorite downtown hangouts is the Roosevelt. "The Roosevelt is gorgeous inside, and with it's dark lighting and roses makes for a romantic hangout. Plus, they have really awesome pretzels," Jamie said.
She has since fallen in love with downtown, something that surprised her growing up in a town of 5000 people. She's keenly aware that downtown still needs some work, and concedes it needs more people.
When asked what she'd most like to improve on, Jamie realized she needed to find something that kept her up at night. Not an easy task, as her 4.0 GPA and the fact she graduated college in three years made her overqualified for everything. Oh, and she's really good at pleasing people, but what perfect person isn't?
