Jammie Belstner
Watertown Area Chamber of Commerce Ambassador (since 2023)
I grew up in Elkhorn Wi, where I graduated from Elkhorn Area High School. I am a small-town girl at heart. I currently am a student at Madison Technical College, studying Business Management/HR Management.
I started my earliest career as a lifeguard, it was there that I learned I had a passion for people, becoming a caregiver for the state of Wi is where I spent 12 years caring for people who experience hardships. I later became a manager of many different homes. Helping lead both staff, care teams, and the people under our care. I decided to make a career change as my family started to grow. In July 2021, I started working at 7up Watertown on the sales and merchandising team. When Keurig Dr Pepper, bought 7up Watertown in 2022, I became the Office Coordinator. I able to help our teams, community and many branches when needed. I am a part of our Women & Allies, and Parent and caregiver & Allies ERG Groups. I love seeing people like me in these groups. This year I started at Brown Shoe Fit in Downtown Watertown, part-time. I help with the books, but if you stop in and ask for me, I’d be happy to help you find a pair of shoes!
I’ve been with my Husband Ryan for 11 years. We met online, back when that stuff was still free! HA! I knew quickly that he was my person. We got married and moved our family from Fort Atkinson to Watertown in 2016. We bought our first home a few blocks from Main St. After buying our house Ryan got an excellent job here in Watertown. His career has blessed our family so much in many ways. I am so proud and thankful for my husband. Our two kids Jameson and Delilah go to Good Shepherd and are involved in many sports. Where Ryan and I both coach. Being a mom to Jameson and Delilah really is the best part of my life. We live a very busy lifestyle, and I love every second of it. We go back to Elkhorn every Sunday to visit and care for Our Nana. Nana is special to our entire family. We have two cats named Glitter & Sparkles, and a Boston Terrier named Ruby. My family’s favorite season is Summer. We love wearing swimsuits, putting our toes in the sand and getting tan. I love traveling with my family & friends, swimming, shopping, Morgan Wallen, helping people, tubing down the river and all things plants. Since moving to Watertown, we have met so many wonderful people who truly have become our family. I have so many people who support me daily and I couldn’t do this life without them.
I became a proud ambassador for the Chamber of Commerce in the start of January 2023. I also am the MC for Wake-up Watertown. It’s my favorite role that I love to contribute to. I love learning about other things that are happening in our community. I’m extremely proud of where I live, I’m very passionate about giving back to Watertown. In the process in creating a better community at large for your family and mine.
