Jasmine Hooks

I was born in Los Angeles, California and although I always knew I did not grow up in the best neighborhood, I have been determined to seek out the best educational opportunities for as long as I can remember.

As a child, I filled out every magnet school program application ever placed in front of me. I graduated from King/Drew Magnet High school and made one of my proudest decisions to attend UCLA.

As first generation college student, I had the privilege of studying Afro-Americans Studies with a concentration in Psychology – this discourse exposed me to a profound history of Africans in America.

Most importantly, it cultivated in me a sense of responsibility to educate my own people. I did just that as a college adviser for high school students for two years.

I obtained my Master’s in Public Administration with a concentration in Urban Management from CSU Fullerton to enhance my understanding of political and administrative structures and their adverse effects on the success of my people.

I currently work in local government so that I can take an active approach to transforming how government affect the most vulnerable communities and so that I can be a living example that Black women leaders exist and can thrive in professional public service.
