About Me
A native Clevelander, Jamie Levine Daniel is an associate professor at New York University’s Robert F. Wagner’s Graduate School of Public Service. Her research interests include nonprofit capacity, nonprofit finance, organizational identity, and public service delivery.
Jamie earned her BA in International Relations and Jewish Studies from American University in Washington, DC, and spent five years working for BBYO Inc. There she focused on informal education and leadership development for high school students, and led number conventions and programs across the U.S. and Israel.
After leaving BBYO, Jamie spent a year as a JDC Jewish Service Corps volunteer in Izmir, Turkey. Her responsibilities including teaching Hebrew to kindergarteners (in Turkish!), helping the youth leaders plan their educational programs for the even younger kids, and running programs for and with the women in the community.
Jamie swore up and down she would never go to Ohio State, so of course she ended up getting two graduate degrees over the span of eight years. She received her MBA from the Fisher College of Business, and her doctorate in public policy and management from the John Glenn College of Public Affairs. Before joining the Wagner Faculty, she spent 8 years at Indiana University-Purdue University’s Paul H. O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs.
In her spare time, Jamie enjoys reading, running, yoga, and crocheting.
