She moved to the mountain state to continue her passion for stories with WDTV in June of 2020 as a multimedia journalist.
She comes from the neighboring state of Virginia and is looking forward to finding the stories important to you. Jasmin began her career as a news fellow at WRAL-TV in Raleigh, NC. After that, she was a news intern for WJLA-TV in Washington, D.C. She was born in Los Angeles and raised in Alexandria, Virginia.
