A bicycle changed Jayme Moye’s career. The Boulder, Colo. resident had spent 10 years in the tech sector, using her degree in business management and information systems to work with a large accounting firm. It wasn’t her passion, but it paid the bills.
Then Jayme joined a women’s cycling team and started racing. As the team captain, one of her duties was to write the weekly race reports. There, Jayme rediscovered her love for writing and, with some good timing, connections and her credibility as a successful cyclist, scored a writing assignment for a cycling magazine.
Today, Jayme is the managing editor at “Elevation Outdoors,” a Boulder-based magazine that covers outdoor sports, adventure travel and more. “I’d found a viable way to earn an income doing something I loved, and with that knowledge, I just couldn’t go back to being satisfied with a career as a database analyst,” she says.
