Jazmine Salley – Architect-In-Training
A California native, Jazmine was born in El Centro and raised in San Bernardino where this multi-disciplinarian received a master of science degree in management in 2017 and in 2020, a master’s in architecture from Arizona State University.
But before that, this well-educated creative studied art with an emphasis in photography, and in 2016 she earned a bachelor’s degree in studio art and a minor in mathematics from California State University San Bernardino.
Jazmine was a member of the National Society of Collegiate Scholars and spent a year working at a leadership challenge center at the Recreation and Wellness center at CSUSB where she facilitated challenge course curricula to enhance team-building skills. What ultimately drew her to a career in architecture was the vastness and versatility it offers across various industries and disciplines.
