Faces of SAL: Jamie Miller
February 23, 2024
Welcome to the SAL board, Jamie Miller!
To welcome Jamie to the board, we spoke to her about her PNW activities, old favorite reads, and what a great day is . . .
When you’re not doing SAL Board things, you can be found…
at a hockey rink anywhere in the Pacific NW, including Canada and Alaska, watching my son fly up and down the ice.
Favorite book as a kid (and why)?
The first book I remember reading multiple times was Little Women. As a “tomboy” with an independent streak, I connected with Jo and her complicated friendship with Laurie. But I also loved that I could see bits of myself in all of the sisters.
Before I came to SAL (and/or my current occupation), I . . .
am Senior Vice President and Director of Engineering Development at Sellen Construction. I love helping our young engineers find their strengths and passions and craft that into a career where they are happy and excited about their work.
What’s your ideal Sunday?
Sitting in the sun (any season), on my deck, reading a book, with a cup of tea or a cocktail in hand, and kids and dogs running amok. Then finishing the day with a family dinner where we can all connect before the start of another week.
What emoji best represents you (and why)?
Any laughing emoji. I firmly believe in the therapeutic power of laughter and I love to laugh. So much so that I will occasionally laugh at an inappropriate moment and be accused of not “reading the room”. But I think you can often find humor in the least expected places.
Thank you so much, Jamie! We’re so thrilled to have you on the SAL board!
