Jasmine is a registered dietitian, certified diabetes educator, and the Co-founder of 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 life-long changes while respectfully maintaining their culture. She currently resides 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 life but could have been corrected through preventive diet measures. She earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Nutrition Dietetics from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and her Master’s Degree in Nutrition Education from Rosalind Franklin University in Chicago.

EatWell Exchange provides community outreach and various culturally relevant nutrition programs geared toward preventing chronic diseases.  They go out in the community and teach all ages, adjusting their presentations to relate to their culture and making practical changes that are relevant to their needs. They work with communities that are considered food deserts by helping their local gardens gain support which will increase access to healthier foods in those areas.  EatWell Exchange partners with nonprofits, businesses, organizations, and schools to reach various low-socioeconomic populations.
