Where is your hometown? San Pablo, California.
 
What are some hobbies of yours? I like to go to the gym, play basketball, hang out with my friends, and try new food.
 
What is your relationship status? Taken!
 
If you could have any superpower, what would it be? If I could have any superpower in the world, it would be flying. It would be really convenient to travel from place to place and I could fly away from almost every bad situation. 
 
What do you look forward to every weekend? I look forward to relaxing, de-stressing, and hanging out with my friends on the weekend.
 
What are some TV show/movie recommendations of yours? For TV shows, I recommend George Lopez and The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air because they’re funny. I also suggest watching the
 
ESPN channel because I love sports. Some movies I love are Inception, Dark Knight, Friday, Rush Hour, Think Like a Man, Project X, The Hangover, Taken, and The Avengers.
 
What is the best thing about UCSD? My favorite thing about UCSD is that it’s in San Diego. We are near the beach and there is good Mexican food around the city.
Jasmine is currently a senior at the University of California, San Diego. She is pursuing a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology and a minor in Education Studies. Jasmine is the Co-Campus Correspondent for Her Campus UCSD, along with the amazing Taylor Zepeda. Jasmine spends most of her time volunteering at low socioeconomic status elementary schools across the San Diego county and grading papers for classes she is a Teacher's Assistant in. Novel wise, she is an avid fan of Edith Wharton and the Lord of the Rings series. She also loves comedic shows like New Girl and The Big Bang Theory, but also enjoys thrillers like Criminal Minds. One of Jasmine's favorite hobbies is trying foods of different cultures; she loves visiting cultural nights and community festivals. Above all, Jasmine worships Beyonce (a.k.a. Beysus, Queen Bee, Baeyonce, etc). Her future aspiration in life is to become the Secretary of Education and have the Hov and B over for dinners.
