ABOUT
Author of #sponsored Jasmine Chou grew up a student-athlete who was always considered more student than athlete; a point proven when she finished undergraduate with magna cum laude honors in only three years. As a child, she pursued her athletic aspirations by playing basketball despite being a mere 5'5”. Spurred on by the love of sports and discipline, she transitioned to swimming, cycling, and running, claiming age group podiums and racing in the renowned Ironman World Championships.
A classic Type A personality, when not plotting her next project or making sure she fully is functioning at her full-time job, Jasmine can be found riding her bike through the New York streets, neglecting her blog, or finding any excuse to work out.
