Jasmine E. | Stewart Branch

Sixteen-year-old Jasmine Espericueta, a junior at Maryvale High School and member of the Stewart Boys & Girls Club, has spent the last four years discovering her confidence and voice. Growing up feeling overshadowed and often misunderstood, she learned early to hide her emotions—but the Club changed that. Through staff who genuinely saw her, Jasmine found belonging, strength, and a sense of who she could become.

A dedicated leader, Jasmine serves as Keystone Secretary and Photographer, mentors younger members in Torch Club, and has completed three terms as an Emerging Leader. She has contributed more than 250 hours of community service.

Focused and ambitious, Jasmine aims to finish senior year in the top 10 and hopes to attend ASU’s Barrett Honors College, exploring careers in children’s medicine, performing arts, or teaching.
