Jasmin is the Associate Director of Development and Policy at the California Innocence Project (CIP). Before joining CIP, Jasmin was a managing partner of two of the Original Pancake House restaurants in San Diego and Temecula. Because of Jasmin’s work, several bills sponsored by CIP have now become law. Exonerees are now able to make requests for information regarding available evidence to prove their innocence; be given automatic compensation, and have their yearly compensatory amount increased; and ask for transitional services upon their release. Jasmin’s work in legislation has also dramatically changed police practices and procedures regarding eyewitness identification.

Jasmin is a San Diego native that is enthusiastic about ensuring her hometown honors, respects and is accountable to its habitants.
