Jasmine Temple

Jasmine Temple (she/her) is a doctoral student in the Health Psychology program at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. She earned her BSc from Virginia Commonwealth University and an MA in Psychology from James Madison University. Currently, she is housed within the Community/Health concentration, where she conducts research around sexual health and violence. Her two streams of research involve understanding the sexual health experiences of communities that have been marginalized, and using bystander intervention to prevent sexual violence victimization and perpetration. She currently serves as an advisory board member of Brave Step, Inc., a community nonprofit organization in Charlotte, NC that seeks to empower and support survivors of sexual violence. Additionally, she is currently in an internship with the North Carolina Coalition Against Sexual Assault, a statewide alliance working to end sexual violence through education, advocacy, and legislation. Finally, Jasmine received a NIAAA supplemental grant focused on examining bystander experiences of alcohol-related and -facilitated sexual assault. Altogether, she is passionate about learning, research, and program evaluation in efforts towards reducing negative sexual health and violence outcomes.
