Jasmine Wilhelm

Jasmine likes thunder and stories, along with laughter, adventure and listening, too. Jasmine is currently finishing her Junior year as a double major in Studio Art and Recreation at Western Washington University. She wants to take people outside, show them how nature can ground you and inspire you. She also wants to create safe spaces to be vulnerable, to learn, to grow: to create art. Jasmine feels that being an RA for two years and being part of the communities through that job, have defined her Western experience in the most extraordinary and positive ways.
