Author
Jasmine Deatherage, an accomplished author and educator with a Master’s degree in English and over 15 years of experience teaching high school students. Originally from Bangkok, Thailand, I immigrated to the United States and proudly became a U.S. citizen, settling in New York. My cultural heritage deeply influences my work and personal life, particularly through my passion for cooking authentic Thai cuisine, where I share the vibrant flavors of my homeland with others. My commitment to education extends beyond the classroom, as I actively dedicate my time to a non-profit organization focused on empowering inner-city children, a cause that reflects my unwavering belief in the transformative power of learning and community support.
In addition to my professional pursuits, I am an avid adventurer and creative spirit. My hobbies include photography, backpacking, camping, and kayaking, each fueling my love for exploration and artistic expression. Recently, my husband and I embraced a new chapter by purchasing an RV, allowing us to traverse new horizons and document our journeys on social media. These experiences not only inspire my writing but also deepen my appreciation for the beauty and diversity of the world around me. Whether through the lens of my camera, the pages of my stories, or my efforts to uplift others, I strive to live a life of purpose, creativity, and connection.
