She grew up a history buff and that love of history transformed into her study of psychology, a field where you essentially gain a more intimate understanding of a person's history. She created Red Elephant Candle Company in 2020 where she incorporated her taught holistic therapies into her candles to create a calming and safe environment for others. Jamica elaborates on her transition into candle making and her intention behind creating them.
