Meet Dr. Jasmine Bauknight, MD

Dr. Jasmine Bauknight, MD is a board-certified orthopedic hand and upper extremity surgeon with Shore Physicians Group. Passionate about helping patients regain the use of their hands, she finds fulfillment in helping people return to the activities they love.

A proud graduate of Brown University’s undergraduate and medical schools, Jasmine completed her orthopedic surgery residency at Howard University and her hand and upper extremity surgery fellowship at Allegheny General Hospital. Originally from North Jersey, she has called South Jersey home for the past five years, with adventures taking her everywhere from Paris and Brazil to Washington, D.C., and Pittsburgh.

Beyond medicine, Jasmine is a creative spirit who speaks four languages, plays multiple musical instruments, loves samba, and creates beautiful glass mosaic artwork. Her favorite pastimes include kayaking, beach days, karaoke, traveling, laughing, and spending time with her beloved dog, Archie, for whom she proudly serves as both emotional support human and social media manager!

Jasmine recently began studying salsa and bachata at Arlin’s Dance Spot, discovering the joy of expressing herself through movement while honoring the cultural history and spirit of resistance woven into Latin music. And why did she decide to learn to lead? Because she doesn’t like being told what to do!

Now, Jasmine is stepping WAY outside her comfort zone! After discovering Dancing Under The Rainbow through Arlin, she embraced the opportunity to take part in this exciting competition. Although she never imagined sharing the stage with international performers, she’s thrilled to challenge herself, celebrate community, and help raise funds for meaningful causes through the joy of dance.
