Jasmine Ramezanzadeh

In 2023, driven by my passion for psychology and mental health, I eagerly joined SBMT, starting as an intern and swiftly grew to be a Program Coordinator. Now as Director of Administration, I leverage my diverse background in Customer Operations, UX Design and Research, Administration, and event coordination to ensure the success of our projects and programs, fostering positive experiences for interns and fellows.

As the Director of Administration, my responsibilities extend to ensuring the smooth functioning of SBMT’s daily operations, maintaining efficiency and communication, and providing strategic support to drive the mission forward. With that comes program coordinating where I am heavily involved in planning and executing our events, and conferences, overseeing the Fellowship and Internship Program, and the organization of our annual conference and gala. The plan is to succeed.

I credit my work ethic to my parents, who immigrated here in their 20s from Iran as students with very little. With high hopes, they returned to Tehran with my brother and me to begin their lives but later decided to come back to California and start from zero again. I watched them build a life of joy, one step at a time, with determination and hard work. I aspire to achieve the same to make them proud.
