"I aspire to see the Latino and underrepresented communities flourish and thrive,” said Ezell. “I love the idea that I can combine my love for community development, my cultural anthropology education, and my passion for the Latino community into my role as the Hispanic Leadership Network Program Associate. Through Hispanic Access, I can utilize my personal, educational, and professional experiences to benefit the communities we serve. Hispanic Access provides me the opportunity to do what I love while making a significant impact that will uplift Latino leaders and the community.”

Before joining Hispanic Access Foundation, Jasmine worked at the Jesse Miranda Center for Hispanic Leadership, where she assisted the leadership team with creating connections between the faith community, education, and the Hispanic community at large, and participated in mission work at Footsteps Orphanage in Honduras (Tegucigalpa and Santa Barbara).

Ezell holds a bachelor’s degree in Cultural Anthropology (with an emphasis on community development in Latino Communities) and vast experience working and providing services to the Latino community. 

“Jasmine has a deep love for public service and community outreach,” said Maite Arce, president and CEO of the Hispanic Access Foundation. “With Jasmine on board, we will be able to better engage and enhance the ability of faith leaders in Latino communities to better serve the communities’ unique needs.”
