A Bit About Me

Hi! My name is Jasmine, and I'm a Public Relations and Psychology student at Iowa State University with a strong interest in strategic communication, storytelling, and audience engagement. I’m eager to gain hands-on experience in communications as I continue developing the skills to support organizations and communities through thoughtful, effective communication.

Outside of work, I am fueled by my passion for continuous learning, travel, and meeting new people! I thrive in environments where I can collaborate and share with my peers as we work towards a similar goal. I am always open to new opportunities to try new things and make a positive impact in the process!
