Jazzmin Molaud was born with the gift of caring for others. But following her passion has not always been an easy road.
“My ultimate goal is taking care of people, making sure people feel comfortable. I have this huge value for life,” Molaud said. “I come from a large family where I don’t feel like education was promoted enough. There were like fifteen of us, you have such a huge household it’s kind of hard to keep up with everybody going to school.”
Growing up, Molaud remembers spending much of her childhood helping to raise her family and younger siblings. She says, even as a child she knew one day she wanted to work in the medical field. But those goals, as well as her education, were put on hold.
“It kind of got to me, so I dropped out of high school about four times. Life was heavy, I’ve been raising kids and helping my family raise kids since I was seven,” Molaud said. “I didn’t have an education, didn’t have a job, didn’t have nothing.”
When her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, Molaud says her role as a family caretaker continued to grow. She was by her mother’s side until she died at the age of 39.
“She would always keep asking me, hey you know I’m going to pass on, what are your going to do? I’m worried about you, what are you going to do?” Molaud said. “A year after she passed away I got my GED, I think I was 23.”
That was just the start.
On a new path to continue her education, Molaud found Keiser University Online. She graduated in 2018 with an Associate of Science degree in Medical Assisting.
Molaud remembers attending the graduation ceremony and walking across the stage for her diploma, an experience she never got in high school.
“When I graduated from Keiser with my associate’s, graduation definitely made up for everything that I missed out on. You just want to feel like you accomplished something” Molaud said. “I have three children, and I need them to see that.”
Molaud says she fell in love with childbirth after her first daughter was born. She decided to dedicate her life to helping other women bring life into the world. In June, Molaud graduated from Keiser University Online with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology. She’s now working towards becoming a midwife. The motivation to continue following her dreams, started with Keiser University.
“Keiser was my motivator,” Molaud said. “I thought it was going to be hard to keep up with classes, hard to manage financial aid and all of that, and I’ve never once had a problem. Everybody was good at telling me to keep going, what do you need help with.”
As she continues working towards her goals, Molaud says what keeps her moving forward is knowing her mother is smiling down.
“It saddens me that she’s not here to actually witness it,” Molaud said. “I know she would be proud, and that’s what keeps me from being negative about her death. It’s more about being who she wanted, and what she would have wanted.”

My instructors believed in me. They were more than instructors, they tried to get to know you as a person and tried to understand your goals so they could push you towards them. Student services helped me find a job before I even graduated. Everyone was dedicated to my overall success. 
Going to Keiser University was one of the greatest experiences in my life. All of my deans, professors, and staff made me feel that I was a part of something very special, and I am. I would recommend for anyone to get their education at Keiser University. The instructors at Keiser University impacted my life. They believed in my ability to become a great graphic designer, regardless of how I felt about my skills. KU helped to prepare me for the real world and got me to where I am today. If not for my education at Keiser I probably would not be where I am today, in both life and career. It is because of going to Keiser and the instructors I had that I joined a club started by Mr. Williams, The Lakeland Shooters Photography Group, which allowed me to venture into an amazing and very creative field that I use to enhance all aspects of my life. The Design program at Keiser University was filled with real world learning and hands on instruction… Based on the portfolio I created while a student at Keiser University, I landed a job in Graphic Design for a major online retailer immediately after graduation. The year and a half I spent in the program better prepared me for attaining a job in the field…As a hands-on learner, the project-centered teaching was perfect for me. Keiser University has given me the opportunity to embrace a career change… It has opened the door for a timely graduation and quick return to the work force… Without the education I received at Keiser University, I would not be where I am today! I not only received an excellent education but also encouragement and training that built my self-confidence every day. I realize the amount of knowledge I gained and feel that the educational experiences have developed me in to a person who can move higher up the career ladder. Keiser University’s MBA program has renewed my mind, changed the way I think, and given me a new sense of purpose. The professors transformed my attitude and behavior, gave me the self-confidence I was lacking, and restored my energy. It has been great attending and graduating from Keiser University. Because of the small class sizes, I was able to build good relationships with classmates and professors. The PA professors care very much about the progress and success of the students and have been great advisors every step of the way through the program. Attending Keiser University and getting my degree was the best decision I have ever made. The small class sizes and personalized attention helped me get my degree quickly. The hands-on experience and the education landed me a job at a neighboring law firm. I chose Keiser because it had everything—small classes, caring professors, hands-on learning, and counselors that are really there for you. I feel like I’m part of a family here, not just a number. After being denied for several promotions at my current employer, I decided that I needed to further my education. Since graduating from Keiser with my bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, I have been promoted and I am able to obtain positions that weren’t available to me before. Beyond the curriculum of the courses, the lessons the instructors have taught me have paid dividends in my real work experiences. How to respond to criticisms, project and time management, interview skills, the list goes on and on. At the end of the day, they not only showed me how to design, but they taught me how to be a professional. Keiser helped change my life by getting my education at the right school! I had been going to another school before, I dropped out because I felt that I was not getting enough information. When I found out about Keiser, I was pleased because the instructors were great. My decision to attend Keiser University has been one of the best decisions I’ve made. I chose to enroll in the Information Technology program… The one-class-a-month pace helped incredibly with my self-discipline. The BA for Business Administration at Keiser has to be one of the best in the nation. Keiser takes the basics that are taught at the Associates level and uses them to strengthen your skills and knowledge. I found that Keiser University’s Nuclear Medicine program of advanced studies and small class size was a perfect fit. I never came across a faculty member who wasn’t truly interested.
