Who is Dr. Jazz?
A Life Coach for Tween Girls
Dr. Jasmine N. Scott, or Dr. Jazz to her students, is a school psychologist. The Ohio native graduated from the University of Akron with her BA in Psychology and Master of Social Work. After working as a school-based therapist for three years, Dr. Jazz moved to Nashville to attend Tennessee State University to continue her education and pursue her doctoral degree.
Dr. Jazz has worked with adolescent girls from over 10 years in some capacity (i.e. mentoring, ministry at church, therapist). She has always had a heart for working with middle school girls specifically, understanding that is usually an awkward time for the girls and their parents.
​
For years, Dr. Jazz wanted to have a program for adolescent girls from single parent and low-income homes. Her goal is to support those girls that come from similar backgrounds as herself. She was blessed to have a support system that encouraged her and reminded her that she can do anything she puts her mind to. Her goal is to be that type of support for other young girls and expose them to different educational, career and creative opportunities.
