Jasmine is a registered dietitian nutritionist and certified diabetes care and education specialist residing in Raleigh, North Carolina. She believes in a realistic approach to improving nutritional habits for a better quality of life. Her interest in nutrition blossomed from health problems dominating her and her family's lives but could have been corrected through preventive diet measures. She earned her bachelor of science in nutrition dietetics from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and her master’s in nutrition education from Rosalind Franklin University in Chicago.

She co-founded EatWell Exchange Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with the primary goal of bridging the gap in health outcomes by guiding communities in making positive lifelong changes while respectfully maintaining their culture. She provides community outreach and various culturally relevant nutrition programs to prevent chronic diseases—Jasmine partners with nonprofits, businesses, organizations, and schools to reach various low-socioeconomic populations. Since 2017, her organization has impacted over 30,000 people.

Jasmine is the CEO of her consulting company, Nourish Through Nutrition, which teaches about diabetes, mindful eating, and making behavioral changes with all foods. She emphasizes making changes around their lifestyle while also debunking food myths, helping people develop better relationships with their food, and making healthier food choices that are sustainable and last a lifetime. As a media dietitian, she has been featured on many local and national media outlets and health panels, such as Today's Dietitian, WFLA Tampa, Philadelphia Channel 17, NBC Miami, Real Simple, Self, Essence Magazine, and many more local TV stations and publications.
