This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at FAMU chapter and does not reflect the views of Her Campus.

If you’ve seen her around campus, you know that she’s the epitome of a classy lady. She stays busy serving the FAMU community on and off campus. Her presence is filled with positivity! Her Campus Florida A&M got to catch up with Jasmine to ask her a couple questions.


Name: Jasmine O. Yates
Major: Health Care Management
Relationship status: Single and waiting
Campus involvement:
SGA Secretary of State, The Scholar Society of Allied Health, Presidential Ambassadors, and a proud member of the Original Beta Alpha Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated
Your favorite university event:
Homecoming has to be one of my most enjoyable events of the year.  I love seeing Alumni, Family, Friends and fellow Rattlers exude so much pride and love for the University. 
Dream job:
To become a Health Law Attorney with specialized knowledge on elder health law and ethical issues.
Ideal date:
I would love to be taken to lunch/dinner followed by a concert to see one of my favorite artists (Beyonce, Kanye, Alicia Keys, Etc).  Nevermind, this is a dream date.  I will settle for lunch and a walk in the park as my ideal date.
3 things you like to do in your spare time:
When I have spare time, I like experimenting with cooking/baking, shopping, and spending quality time with family and friends.
Best Class taken at FAMU:
Public Speaking had to be the best class I’ve taken because it helped me to step out of my comfort zone.    I also think the knowledge and experience learned in this class really prepares you for life after FAMU.
Your biggest turn offs for a guy:
A guy who has no respect for himself nor his MAMA.  I am sure there are some exceptions, but a guy who adores and respects his Mother can also adore and respect me as a young lady.
The weirdest thing in your purse at the moment:
 Deodorant and lotion. I know deodorant may be a little weird, but you always have to stay fresh.
What Book are you reading right now:
Mind Power Into the 21st Century by John Kehoe.  I am really into self-improvement.
What’s your guilty pleasure food?
Any type of seafood, and I love fried chicken wings with hot sauce.
Anything you would like potential suitors to know:
Just have confidence and go after what you want, no matter what it is.  I may be hard to approach….but in reality, I am very down to earth, fun, bubbly and such a goofy person. I like to work hard but I also play hard.   I am attracted to guys with a great sense of humor, good value system, love for his MAMA and someone who puts God first. Oh yes, being well groomed is always a plus.
