Jasmine received her MPH in Behavioral Science and Health Education from the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory University. Her research focuses on nutrition and physical activity interventions to prevent chronic diseases, with a particular emphasis on underserved populations. Prior to joining GWU, Jasmine served as a research fellow with the CDC's Division of Diabetes Translation (DDT), where she conducted research and resource gap analyses to enhance the availability of evidence-based lifestyle change programs for adults with prediabetes or those at high risk for type 2 diabetes. Her dissertation topic intends to explore and describe dietary behaviors and food decision-making among African American/Black women through a sociocultural lens.
