Undergrad: Wake Forest University
PA School: Campbell University Physician Assistant Program
Jasmyn's passion for guiding aspiring physician assistants stems from her own journey to becoming a PA. She grew up in New Jersey before relocating to North Carolina for her undergraduate education at Wake Forest University, where she majored in health and exercise science with secondary studies in Chinese and dance. She gained valuable hands-on experience as a certified nurse assistant in orthopedics and oncology, amassing 3,000+ hours of patient care before pursuing a Master of physician assistant practice at Campbell University. During her time at Campbell, she chartered the pre-PA club and mentored aspiring allied health students. Her leadership and dedication were recognized with honors such as the HPREP Scholarship and the Emerging Student Leader Award.
Having benefited from the guidance of a mentor during her own journey, Jasmine has since felt a strong calling to offer the same support to others. She believes in the power of collaboration and mutual support, as all future healthcare professionals will ultimately work alongside one another as colleagues. Students Jasmyn has coached have been accepted to numerous PA programs, including Campbell University, Emory University, Meharry Medical College, Wake Forest University, Loma Linda University, East Virginia Medical School, and others.
Her approach to coaching is highly personalized. Jasmyn takes great care to learn about students as individuals beyond their resumes in order to create tailored application narratives that truly distinguish them. She meets each student where they are in the application process, whether they are fully prepared with a near-perfect personal statement and a clear vision of their top-choice schools, or are still in the early stages of brainstorming and planning.
As a mentor, Jasmyn's greatest strength lies in her firsthand experience with the PA admissions process and her ability to share her knowledge and insights with students. Serving on Campbell’s PA admissions committee has given Jasmyn a deep understanding of the qualities and skills that top programs value in applicants. She also mentors new-graduate APPs at her workplace, further solidifying her commitment to supporting and guiding the next generation of physician assistants. She finds great fulfillment and energy in helping others achieve their dreams of becoming PAs and looks forward to working with each student on their special journey.
