Jazzie, as she was affectionately known, graduated from Delcastle Technical High School in 2007. Jazzie was an excellent student. She graduated with honors as a medical assistant. After high school she went on to study nursing at Delaware Technical and Community College. Jasmine was employed with Delaware Clinical Laboratories at Christiana Hospital until she became ill.
