In 2020, at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, Jamya accepted a position as a production assistant at WJLA 7 News in Washington, D.C., then moved to Chattanooga, Tennessee to be a multimedia journalist.   While in Tennessee, she covered a variety of stories, including the effects of gun violence on families, homelessness, local connections to the war on Ukraine, and highlights of service within the Chattanooga community.
