Jamie Smith, Community Relations Director at American House Somerset and passionate advocate for older adults. Jamie's journey into senior care began when her mother was diagnosed with a terminal illness. Navigating the complex world of care options opened her eyes to how deeply families need support, guidance, and compassion during life's hardest moments. That experience shaped her mission: to ensure every family she serves receives the resources, dignity, and respect they deserve. With a background in Communications from Oakland University, Video Production from Specs Howard, and licensure as a Health & Life Insurance Agent, Jamie has spent more than 20 years in the senior market. Her work has included developing training programs, writing educational content, and sharing her expertise through podcasts and seminars. Jamie is also honored to serve on the board of SCAN Oakland, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting seniors throughout Oakland County. Today, Jamie is thrilled to step onto stage—dancing not just for fun, but for a cause close to her heart.

Kelly Frederick is the Marketing & Event Manager for ABC Southeastern Michigan, where she's proudly worked for the past four years. A December 2017 graduate of Central Michigan University with a degree in Integrative Public Relations, Kelly has always had a passion for bringing people together — both in her work and in life. Growing up, she dreamed of learning ballroom dance, and finally got her wish as a senior in high school when her parents enrolled her in her first class. These days, most of her dancing happens around the house while cleaning, but she's thrilled to be back on the dance floor for a great cause. When she's not dancing, Kelly enjoys traveling with her husband, spending time with family, doing Barre workouts, and working on their first home.
