Jaime Cherry, Creative Director [CFO]
Jaime Cherry has a solid background in education and a strong passion for conservation and the outdoors. In the classroom, she has developed writing, math and science rubrics and implemented curriculum for differentiated instruction.
Creative word construction and out-of-the-box ideas come natural to Jaime. A well thought out combination of words, “Call in sick. Pack your gear. Find your adventure.,” spawned one of the most successful summer marketing campaigns for the New Mexico State Parks system. This simple slogan was presented on T-shirts and became the mantra for New Mexico’s largest lake, Elephant Butte Lake State Park.
Jaime has a Bachelor of Science in Occupational Education from Wayland Baptist University and is currently pursuing her Masters Degree in Secondary Education.
