About Me:

Hi! Welcome to my website!

My name is Jasmine and I am a first year MFA Directing candidate at the David Geffen School of Drama at Yale. I have previously worked at Company One Theatre as the Artistic Associate and NNPN Producer in Residence. I hold a BFA in Theatre Arts from Boston University, School of Theatre. My work has been centered on being a fierce advocate for marginalized communities and celebrating black joy.

As a freelance director, I have worked at The Huntington Theatre, American Repertory Theatre, Fresh Ink Theatre Company, and many more. My most recent projects have been Directing Intimate Apparel at Silverthorne Theatre and Associate Director on Joe Turner’s Come and Gone at The Huntington Theatre. I love collaborating with playwrights and developing new work. Along with representation of marginalized communities on stage, storytelling with comedy is my jam and central to who I am. Issa Rae is inspiration for representation of hilarious, fierce black women in her TV show Insecure. My dream is to bring that type of representation of black women in theatre.

As a producer, I previously served as the Creative Producer of Thirteenth Night at New York Theatre Festival, the Better Future Series at Company One, NNPN Producer in Residence at Company Theatre and the Boston Project Coordinator at SpeakEasy Stage.
