We are pleased to announce that Dr. Jaime Caperton has joined Academic Success and Advising as Academic Program Manager I for Pre-Health Advising. Jaime will provide support and guidance to Georgia Tech undergraduate, graduate and alumni pursuing careers in medicine. Her contributions and role will be integral to the ongoing programming, event planning, and development of resources aimed to support the Georgia Tech pre-health community.  

Jaime earned an Ed.D. in student affairs leadership from the University of Georgia, a master’s degree in educational leadership, and a bachelor’s degree in child and youth studies from Florida Gulf Coast University. Her dissertation focused on women in STEM and how their participation in major-focused student organizations shaped their sense of belonging, retention, and academic persistence.

Jaime began her career in higher education as an academic advisor at the University of Georgia, where she supported students majoring in engineering. She later transitioned to advising students in exercise and sport science and sport management. During this time, Jaime found she enjoyed helping those with an interest in the health professions, which inspired her to focus exclusively on supporting this population. Her time as an academic advisor sparked a passion for empowering students to achieve their personal and professional goals, while encouraging them to take full advantage of the opportunities available to them throughout their college experience.

In her spare time, Jaime enjoys spending time with family, reading, working out, attending sporting events, and traveling.

Please join us in welcoming Jaime to ASA and OUESS!
