About Us
JATCHED.com (job + matched) is the product of four dazzling NYU students who ran with an assignment in an Entrepreneurship class and never looked back.
Aleksandra Bookman and Mary Casey
Daunted by the tough economic times and even tougher job market, we were stumped when graduation arrived and the job well was dry. There were no jobs nor internships to satisfy our need for money in the big city, or our parents desire for "concrete plans". It occurred to us that maybe our class project did not need to be just another PowerPoint slide show to drag into the trash to free up disk space. It would not only help us, but all of our fellow students and recent grads as well. So here we are: working everyday to bring employers and students together in one trustworthy, smart, simple place - JATCHED.com.
Aleksandra Bookman
VP of Sales, Founder
aleks@jatched.com
Aleksandra Bookman graduated from NYU in the Spring of 2009 as a History major and Producing minor. Although her major and last name would have made it appropriate for her to be a librarian, she chose a different path. With an internship at SNL and Sony BMG under her belt, you would expect that path to be in the Entertainment Industry. But in true Aleksandra Bookman fashion, she took an even less traveled, unexpected road. Being that a desk job with a demanding boss is absolutely not her style, she needed employment that complemented her free spirit and erratic schedule. She made it happen for herself and now that spirit works free of paychecks and scheduling conflicts in order to help herself and her peers. She now spends her days as a co-founder of JATCHED.com in New York City. Ask her to walk your dog, play drums with your middle-schooler, teach you Spanish/Serbian/Italian before the big trip, but do NOT let her anywhere near your taxes or physics student.
Craig Campbell
CTO, Code Wizard

website
Craig Campbell graduated from NYU in 2008 with a degree in Music Technology. He is now a full time software developer living in New York City and currently working for vimeo.com. When approached to see if he would be interested in doing the development for JATCHED.com Craig was very excited by the opportunity/possibilities and joined the team.
When he is not busy writing awesome code he likes to play guitar, piano, drums, ukulele, clarinet, synthesizers, and cello, among other things. He also has a deep love for 1960s rock, Woody Allen films, and grilled cheese sandwiches.
Mary Casey
CMO, Founder
mary@jatched.com
Mary Casey is studying entrepreneurship and classical history, and graduating in 2011 from NYU. The eldest of five, she loves fashion, traveling, writing, and editing. Starting in high school, her friends would often send her their work to edit. She believes that two heads are better than one, and for her, it is truly a privilege to see the world through another person's eyes. Originally, she wanted to study biology, but her first and last collegiate biology lab made her realize it definitely was not for her. Mary still thinks biology is fascinating, though, and would love to tutor younger kids in biology. Mary has tried to get her driver's license three times, unsuccessfully... and has moved onto bigger things- Mary is currently in pursuit of a glider pilot license. She definitely cannot help you with photography, unless you want her to leave the lens cover on- sorry. She is the baby co-founder of JATCHED and hopes it will be useful to you!
