These Westchester Wunderkinds Lead the Business Scene in 2021

Jasmine Graham was awarded the title of "Westchester Wunderkind" by 914Inc.'s Westchester Magazine.

Don’t be fooled by Jasmine Graham’s youthful appearance. As manager of Westchester Power, Graham oversees all aspects of securing clean power for the 28 municipalities that are members of Sustainable Westchester, which administers programs to create economically efficient climate solutions.

At just 25 years old, Jasmine has earned the respect of peers twice her age, through her confidence and poise, says her supervisor, Dan Welsh. “Her mastery of industry-specific knowledge in this new and fast-changing area has ensured both market retention and acquisition for our program,” he says. “Her undeniable passion and dedication have allowed her to become the trusted face of the program.”

Graham’s responsibilities include complex data reporting, preparation of regulatory compliance documentation, and planning and executing outreach communications.

Graham is also working with Yonkers, Mount Vernon, Port Chester, White Plains, Mamaroneck, Ossining, and Peekskill as part of an environmental justice program. She cites things like dilapidated buildings, inefficient heating and cooling systems, and high asthma rates from industrial pollution as problems that need to be addressed.

“These challenges might seem overwhelming, but we are committed to finding the solutions in partnership with those communities,” Graham says. “As a woman of color who has experienced life as an underdog, I’m incredibly proud to fight for the marginalized and the disenfranchised to ensure a resilient future for us all."
