Ooooo! I dunno, it don't look like an a to me, more like an e, I think Jemerson.  Study the a, then look at the name, it's not as curly as the a.

I also thought Jamerson. 

However, is that a real last name?  Could it be Jaimerson? I have not heard that name before.   I am trying to think like a person who lived in the US listening to a person with a Scottish brogue saying the last name.

I might as well stick my oar in here!   Could it be plain old Emmerson?

The text looks like Jamerson.

Her surname could be Jamerson or Jameson. The 'celebrity' Derek Jameson pronounces his surname as Jame-r-son.
