Jama Williamson was born in Evansville, IN and graduated Cum Laude from the University of Notre Dame with a BA in Communications and Theater. She then moved to New York City and attended Circle in the Square acting conservatory. After several stints Off-Broadway including the world premieres of Avery Crozier's "Eat the Runt," "Spanish Girl," and the cult hit musical, "Debbie Does Dallas" directed by Erica Schmidt, she landed a lead in Manhattan Theater Club's Broadway play, "Losing Louie" directed by Jerry Zaks.

Shortly after her Broadway debut, she and her husband Curtis Mark Williams (former actor and inventor of Belly Buds) moved to Los Angeles, where she has had recurring roles on NBC's "Parks and Recreation and "The Good Place," ABC's "Single Parents," and the series regular role of "NoraTate" on Nick at Nite's "Hollywood Heights" and as Principal Mullins on Nickelodeon's Emmy-Nominated musical series, "School of Rock." She's also starred in over 50 national commercials.

She recently moved back to the east coast with her husband and two daughters, and is recurring on "American Rust" with Jeff Daniels and Maura Tierney.
