Jasmine Rodriguez grew up in Bethlehem, Pa., also known as the Christmas City. Leaving her hometown behind, she had her sights on a warmer part of the United States, Coastal Carolina. From the moment she stepped on campus, she felt welcome and right at home.
As a middle level education major, Jasmine is eager to start her future as a teacher but her dream position would be as an international instructor teaching students abroad. Helping students become the best versions of themselves is a passion of hers.
Jasmine is also a tutor on campus. Knowing the importance of helping students, she takes her position tutoring student-athletes seriously, always keeping best practices in mind.
“Tutors should have patience. Some people may not be learning the same way you are and you may have to improvise the ways you can help them,” Jasmine says.
Coastal Carolina has helped Jasmine grow not only academically but personally as well. Her favorite moment on campus has been receiving her bid from her sorority, Tri Sigma. Joining a sorority has opened numerous doors for her on campus.
Jasmine describes herself as ambitious, saying, “Once I set my mind to something, I don’t stop until I succeed.” Whether she is helping with a philanthropy event or cooking chicken fried rice with her roommates, Jasmine is dedicated to helping everyone succeed.
