About Jasmine Edwards

Project Manager | Educator | DEI Practitioner | Content Creator. Both my professional and creative experiences provide me the opportunity to diversify my skill set, which helps me be successful in any role. My current skills have afforded me the ability to navigate various professional roles and committee involvement. Project planning has been an integral part of many of my professional roles and has become a passion of mine. From the beginning stages to the completion of a project, I am able to showcase my organization, communication, and collaboration skills. Over the last 10 years, I have managed and completed various size projects for multiple groups of people. I collaborated with multiple departments such as Marketing and IT, as well as outside vendors and stakeholders. I have also worked with the World of Coca-Cola, the Georgia Aquarium and many brand vendors. This summer I am enrolled in a project management certificate course at UGA. I look forward to using the course knowledge in my future project management roles. Throughout my professional experiences, I have served on multiple committees related to training and development, and diversity and inclusion work. While serving on these committees, I create and implement programs and initiatives to assist in developing DEI skills, and assess the effectiveness of the programs to apply to future initiatives. I am an IDI Qualified Administrator, and I have attended multiple facilitation trainings. I developed a passion for working with social media after years of collaborating with various marketing initiatives. I created my brand, It’s Only Jas Nicole, LLC in May of 2020. From its inception, my brand has grown across multiple social media platforms, such as YouTube, Instagram, Pinterest and Facebook. I am currently looking for opportunities to continue developing my training and project management skills. I look forward to embarking on future career endeavors!
