Jasmyn was born and raised in Virginia where she attended Virginia Tech (go Hokies!) and moved to Richmond, VA after graduation. 3 years later, she moved to Chicago to live out her dreams of living in a big city. She has a 12-year-old puppy, Willow, who is her pride and joy. They can be found taking walks along the lake, playing at the dog park, or cuddling up reading a book. Jasmyn’s other hobbies include yoga, traveling, and spending as much time with friends and family as possible. Lastly, Jasmyn has only ever been a fan of Virginia Tech sports teams, but since moving to Chicago she is slowly but surely becoming a Cubs and Hawks fan, and is looking forward to many other Chicago activities as a new Chicago resident.

Get to Know Jasmyn

What is a social cause you feel passionately about, and why is it meaningful to you? Women's right to choose. Not everyone has access to education, healthcare, financial resources, emotional support, family/friends, affordable housing, etc.. And I believe that a woman should be able to do what is best for her (regardless what that is or the reason why it's best for her) without having to seek permission from anyone else.
Do you have any pets? I have a dog named Willow. I wished upon every star, coin, candle, etc. for years and years until she came into my life. I've had her since she was a puppy, and she is now 12 years old. She's a Springer Spaniel, and continues to put the spring in springer! She loves walks, cuddling, and being loved on.
What is a quote you like to live by? "Things happen for a reason."
