Key Note
Jaimee Rose is an award-winning features reporter at The Arizona Republic newspaper. She has written about almost everything: fashion and food, Monet and Pavarotti, politics-police-religion-racism, crazy weddings and crazier taxidermists, even Hugh Hefner’s sex life. (Really, you don’t want to know.) Her friends think she is Google.
This year, Jaimee was a finalist for The Livingston Award for her story about NieNie — Stephanie Nielson, a young mother and popular blogger who was burned in a plane crash and fought to become a mom again.
Jaimee was also a finalist for The Nieman Foundation Fellowship at Harvard in 2009. Her work has been honored by the American Association of Sunday and Features Editors, and she has worked for The Los Angeles Times and The Baltimore Sun.
She likes to say that she became a writer because she loved the stationery aisle and needed a reason to horde notebooks. She is a natural reporter because she’s terrible at keeping secrets (so don’t tell her a thing). She loves to look for magic in the world — in the every day, in ordinary lives – and write it down so that everyone knows it happened.
Jaimee also writes a popular style blog for The Arizona Republic, which means décor dreaming, impractical shoes, peach tart recipes, late-night craft sessions, travel diaries and obsessive-compulsive parties she gives with her mother and sisters. Jaimee creates and styles parties for AZ Magazine, and her work has been featured in magazines and newspapers around the country. She lives in Phoenix.
