Jaime is the managing editor at Hardware Retailing magazine and a self-professed home improvement geek who is mildly obsessed with Pinterest. It's her goal to someday run a Fortune 500 company, build her own house and support the shop local movement, all while wearing four-inch heels and creating world peace. She currently resides in her downtown dream apartment where she attempts to beautify it daily without challenging the terms of her lease. (** Read, No holes in the wall, extension cords or permanent modifications.) As a reporter with Hardware Retailing, Jaime gets to travel the world meeting independent home improvement retailers and she is passionate not only about their mission but her ability to sell their stories. Make sure you have at least a half hour if you ask her about a store she has visited.In her free time, Jaime is studying to earn her MBA and has an uncanny ability to transform any life experience into a business metaphor. She enjoys running and biking and has completed a mini-marathon and triathalon. Jaime admits that she may not get every project right the first time, but she can pretty much guarantee a funny story out of every minute.
