My name is Jazzy. I’m originally from California. Aside from being an astrologer, I work in entertainment doing various jobs(music curator, show producer, writer, talent agent, vocal arranger, host, etc), so I travel from gig to gig throughout the year. My whole life, I’ve naturally found myself in the role of a counselor to family and friends. I’m inspired by a deep desire to help people understand themselves more intimately. After experiencing challenges in my personal relationships and feeling trapped in repetitive patterns, I set out to uncover the “math of life” — to learn how to collaborate with the universe rather than resist it. Through astrology, I found not only clarity and fulfillment but also a powerful framework for self-discovery. I wish to contribute to human evolution by offering astrology readings, teaching others to work with their own natal charts, and preserving the rich traditions of astrology for future generations. 

I began my studies at Kepler College in January 2022 and I am on track to earn my diploma in Fall 2026. I am also proud to be a member of the Kepler Support Team, where I serve as a Teacher’s Assistant and Zoom Technician, helping to facilitate classes and support new students as they navigate their academic journey—just as others supported me when I began mine.
