Jasmin Winter

Jasmin Winter was born on the West Coast in Vancouver, B.C. (traditional territory of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh), studied on the East Coast at McGill University (situated on the traditional land of the Kanien’kehá:ka), and is now meeting in the middle to pursue the University of Winnipeg’s MDP (on Treaty One territory, traditional lands of the Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota, and Dene peoples and homeland of the M茅tis Nation).

Jasmin’s academic studies so far have been largely preoccupied by matters of sustainable socio-economic community development, and her current passion is directed towards exploring pathways to self-sufficiency within food and energy production. For the past three summers Jasmin has also worked as a program assistant for the organization Frontier College in the Cree community of Nemaska, Quebec.

Jasmin is looking particularly forward to the practical, professionally-driven nature of the MDP and cannot wait to participate in her future field placements.
