+Hi there! I’m Jamie Danielson, a dedicated contributor to OpenTelemetry since 2021, when I started working at Honeycomb. My passion for community building, technical leadership, and project management, combined with my background as a maintainer of the JavaScript SIG, make me a strong candidate for the GC role.
+
+One of the main contributing factors for my [nomination to maintainer](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-js/pull/4824) was my ability to bring together folks and ideas from across the ecosystem and help prioritize work and drive things forward. One of the main factors that appeals to me about the [GC role](https://opentelemetry.io/blog/2024/otel-governance/) is the role I would play in project management. I have years of experience in managing projects and teams both in and out of tech. My background in accounting has helped hone my attention to detail, which is valuable when evaluating policies for a major project like OpenTelemetry.
+
+I regularly speak at conferences like KubeCon + CloudNativeCon to advocate for OpenTelemetry, fostering greater adoption and engagement. I’m committed to building a collaborative, respectful, and inclusive open source community, where people feel welcome and empowered to contribute.
+
+As a member of the GC, I would love to help set a steady pace of quality contributions, ensuring we continue to hit meaningful milestones and build a sustainable, future-proof project.
