A Fellow Carrollite, Jazmine Dirks
For any student that spends any time on the first floor of the Hickman Johnson Furrow Learning Center, you probably know Jazmine Dirks. If not, you might be quite accustomed to actually studying. For those who may not know Jazmine, you’re in for a real treat. Seriously, she’ll make you your favorite treat at the Spoonholder as she’s worked there as long as she’s gone to school here at Morningside.
Ms. Dirks grew up in the same West Central Iowa hub as me, in Carroll, IA. There she competed on her high school soccer team, worked at the local Chinese restaurant Hunan’s, and developed her passion for reading. After interning at the Daily Times Herald, Carroll’s daily newspaper, Jazmine discovered that studying mass communications and photography in college would be the preferred way to go. As a sophomore at Morningside, she is continuing her play on the soccer field and keeping busy working at the Spoonholder, financial aid office, and acting as a server at Red Robbin here in Sioux City.
In her free time, Jazmine enjoys her occasional cup of coffee, reading through the latest issue of Rolling Stone magazine, discussing with friends the quality of ice at various restaurants in town. As a connoisseur of ice chewing, she will gladly give you her take on what’s hot and what’s not on the Sioux City ice cube market. Between flipping pages and sipping mochas, Jazmine often times finds herself rummaging through the five dollar DVD and CD racks at Walmart and browsing her favorite websites for great deals.
The next time you’re in the market for an ice cold smoothie or looking for the best ice in Sioux City, you now know someone who can help you out.
