My name is Jazmin, and I am a Registered Dietitian. I received my Bachelor of Science in Human Nutrition and Dietetics from the University of Massachusetts. I completed my internship with the Georgia Department of Public Health with an emphasis in Community Nutrition. I have also received my Masters of Public Health with a focus in Human Nutrition.
Before nutrition, I had over 10 years of experience in mental health as a counselor. I became interested in nutrition due to my challenges with weight gain and dieting. For a long time, I saw my struggles as a failure and that came with a lot of shame, especially as a dietitian. Throughout my journey, I have found that none of my healthcare providers truly understood, so I want to offer support from someone who has been through similar experiences. Both personal and professional experience allow me to understand my clients from the perspective of someone who has been through similar experiences. I have found that both my failures and successes can be used to inspire and encourage others while holding myself accountable.
Once I realized this, I created POP Wellness. Embracing the idea of “Progress over Perfection,” I believe in focusing on gradual improvement rather than perfection. This journey is about taking it one day, and sometimes one hour, at a time. I’m here to walk alongside you, sharing my experiences and expertise, and offering support from someone who truly understands.
