Meet Dr. Ward

Playing in the intersection:

I am Dr. Jasmine Ward, a child of Chicago presently adulting in Arlington, TX. When I look in the mirror, I see a daughter, wife, sister, mother, friend, mentor, public health professional, techy, creative, business owner, and so much more! I take steps to show up in the capacity needed, but I dance at the intersection of them all!
I've come to recognize the privilege of confronting the unforeseen paths of dark nights of insecurity. I honor and appreciate the direction and courage gifted to me by those before me. It is because of their lives, collective journey, fortitude, excellence, resistance, and audacity that I refocus and reflect on the challenges of impenetrable circumstances to see the beauty and benefit of shadows.
Likewise, I invest time, talent, and treasure in the people and priorities that reflect progress in matter and measure. (That rhymes!)
My superpowers are C-Suite, proprietary blends of the aforementioned contributions: care, culture, courage, creativity, capacity, collaboration, confidence, competence, compassion, capability, community, and charity.
I look forward to adding you to my personal and/or professional network.
