    Hi, this is Jasmine. I am pursuing a Master of Social Work (Qualifying) at Western Sydney University. I am calligraphy artist, a poetry lover and a dog mom (you'll probably find me watching dog videos in my spare time). My special talent? Adding a Punjabi tadka to Italian and English dishes. Yes, you'll find garam masala in my pasta. I am all about yapping, helping, and making the world a little brighter, one poetry piece at a time. See you on the other side!
