About

My name is Jami (pronounced JUH-mee), and I am a journalist and aspiring lawyer from Vancouver, British Columbia. I recently worked as a news reporter in New York City for SmartMoney, the monthly investing magazine of the Wall Street Journal. Previously, I spent eight months in Nairobi, Kenya at the Daily Nation, East Africa’s biggest newspaper, on a fellowship from the Aga Khan Foundation and the Canadian International Development Agency. My writing has also appeared in the New York Daily News, Junior Scholastic, the OC Weekly and Vancouver magazine. Thank you for visiting my personal website. (Copyright © 2011 Jami Makan.
