My name is Jasmine Patton, and I was born and raised in Memphis, TN. I completed my DPD from the University of Memphis and obtained my B.S. in Dietetics in May 2022. When I was younger, I always wanted to become a Biomedical Engineer and majored in this in my first year of college. My interest may have shifted, but I have always been passionate about the foods we eat and how they affect us. It is still a goal of mine to educate and help those in need. I am the youngest of six siblings, but being the youngest has made me more determined to strive for the goals I want to achieve. In my free time, I enjoy reading, volunteering, creating new creative meals, and spending time with friends and family. I have continued my education by pursuing a Master’s Degree in Clinical Nutrition and the Dietetic Internship program at the University of Memphis. I am currently a graduate assistant for the Landmark Farmers Market in the Orange Mound community. I can not wait for the learning opportunities and experiences that come from my graduate assistant position, preceptors, and rotations. As a Registered Dietitian-to-be having witnessed firsthand the importance of simple nutritional meals has excited me about furthering my education.
