Jaye Lawson, General Manager
Jaye was born and raised in Demopolis, Alabama, and moved to Tuscaloosa, where her love and passion for coffee began. She started her career working as a shift leader at a local coffee shop, after which she was recruited to be the Assistant Community Manager at UPerk. Within a year she was promoted to General Manager. In her free time, she enjoys working out, spending time with friends, cooking, and spending time with her fur babies – Khloe and Indiana. Her favorite part about working at UPerk is building strong relationships with her customers and developing her craft!
