Jamie Golden joined the team at CAS in November 2006. She currently serves as the agency Director of Marketing. A degree from Emory University in 1998 gave her something invaluable: an introduction to the Internet and electronic mail. She graduated and took her Napster account and worked for the Department of Human Resources recruiting foster and adoptive families. In 2000, she dug into LiveJournal and a start-up nonprofit, The Storehouse, where she planned events and ministered to students. In 2004, MySpace and serving as a student minister at Westwood Baptist were dominating Jamie's time. Jamie now splits her social media affection among many: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, and her blog, Jamie's Rabbits. She also has a real life too. She promises.
