Born and raised in Southern California’s beach cities, Heather Jamieson-Brown moved to Clovis, CA in 2003 with her three small children. With only her 14-year-old daughter left at home now to raise, Jamieson-Brown is pursuing a degree in Journalism and Mass Communications at Fresno City College with hopes to transfer to a state institution to complete her Bachelors.
Jamieson-Brown, 44, is an experienced writer having completed one semester as a reporter for the Rampage. She has covered entertainment venues in the Fresno area as well as profiles of persons of interest to FCC.
During the current semester Jamieson-Brown hopes to gain more experience as a copy editor for the Rampage. As much as she enjoys reporting, she also likes immersing herself in the editing process. Jamieson-Brown is currently working as an editor for FCC adjunct English professor, Julia Simpson-Urrutia, as she writes her third book, a fiction novel.
