Jamie Presser is originally from Connecticut, but she attended nursing school in Virginia, which is where she also started her career as a registered nurse.
For the past 4 years, she’s been a travel nurse living all over the country in places such as Alaska, California, Washington, Arizona, Idaho, and more.
Last year, she decided to attempt one of her dreams - completing a thruhike called the Pacific Crest Trail. For the past year, she’s prepared by researching, acquiring gear, and training.
She started this epic journey in May 2023 and as of this recording in October 2023, she just finished.
