Jasmine is a Canadian public servant and human rights advocate hailing from Vancouver, Canada. She began her career as a Special Assistant to the first Indigenous Minister of Justice of Canada, the Hon. Jody Wilson-Raybould, before transitioning to Canada’s civil service where she supported asylum modernization at Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), and worked on Canada’s National Strategy to End Gender-Based Violence at the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC).

Outside of her policy work, Jasmine is a passionate about arts education for young people, having taught children's performing arts classes throughout Vancouver for many years.
