Meet Jazmin De Guzman
Jazmin De Guzman is a Filipino/Korean American born and raised in Southern California. She currently works as a barista at Starbucks where she brings all your TikTok drinks to life. When Jazmin is not working, you can find her using her creative juices by producing graphic content, shooting portraits of others, and managing her own brand, Made for Greater. After serving 7+ years of ministry at her home parish, Jazmin knew it was time to move on. She left ministry to continue pursuing her degree in Graphic Information Technology at Arizona State University. Meanwhile, she still felt the call to serve but didn’t know where the Lord was calling her. After a long discernment process with the Lord, He finally revealed the “sign” of what she was called to do. Inspired by Pope Benedict XVI’s quote, “The world offers you comfort, but you were not made for comfort. You were made for greatness”, Jazmin started her brand, Made For Greater. This quote is a huge inspiration to her because it helped her get out of a stagnant phase of her life. She is reminded that through these moments of comfort and complacency, she is not meant to stay static. With the guidance of the Lord, Jazmin continues to use Made For Greater as a reminder to everyone that we are meant for greatness.
