Jaime Holst, BA SP Special Education Paraeducator
jholst@odysseycharter.net
I was born and raised in Stillwater, Minnesota. I attended college at the University
of Minnesota and received a BA in speech communications. One week after graduation I
moved to the Big Island of Hawaii where I lived for six years. It was in Hawaii that
I first started working in schools. I worked one on one with a student with Autism for
over two years as his full time aide. It was during this time that I decided that
working in special education was what I wanted to do as my career.
While living in Hawaii I met my husband, Matt, who by the way grew up only twenty minutes away
from me in Minnesota. In Hawaii Matt and I enjoyed lazy days spent by the pool or at any of the
amazing beaches that Hawaii has to offer. During my summers off I like to try and make it to the
Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in northern Minnesota, to spend time canoeing and
camping with friends from home. My entire family lives in Minnesota and so I love going
there every chance that I can.
As of April I am now a mom! My daughter is the greatest thing that has happened to me
(& of course my wonderful husband). She is the sweetest little girl with a huge personality.
She takes up all of my free time right now so I guess that my hobbies include staring at her
all day and being constantly amazed by her! Check back in a few months and maybe I will be
enjoying hobbies again. I am very excited to be working with Ms. J. again in the sped dept here at OCS.
