with the culture and the language several years after dropping out of
her Spanish class. Her favorite things to do are: spend time with
family, sew, do crafts, cook and read. Her grandfather’s best friend,

Jasmine was born and raised in Watsonville. Most of her family lives here as well. She is the oldest of 5 siblings, and she is grateful because she gets to watch them grow up and be there with them through it all. She got her first job at 18 as an accountant at a bicycle repair shop, where she worked for 3 years. At the age of 21, she moved to Soledad and worked for the school district for 3 another 3 years. She just move back to Watsonville in December of 2020 and is so happy to be back near family and friend again! She started working at Gault in December of 2020 and I am very thankful for this because everyone here is wonderful and I get to gain a new experience working as the Health Office Assistant. Also, my favorite animal is a Dolphin...Coincidence? I think not.
