Yasmin Rezzadeh

During her time at USC, Yasmin founded the Society of Middle Eastern Women in Law, an initiative inspired by her parents, Drs. Niki and Rudy Rezzadeh—both Iranian immigrants who instilled in her a deep respect for education and intellectual pursuit. This organization reflects her commitment to advancing representation, mentorship, and advocacy within the legal profession. Yasmin views philanthropy as a central part of her life, and she and her family are dedicated supporters of charitable causes, including the Norooz Foundation, which provides aid to children and families in Iran, as well as St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. She has continued to cultivate these passions at Loyola Law School, with a particular focus on women’s, children’s, and animal rights.

Yasmin has pursued extensive international academic experiences such as studying abroad through Oxford University’s study abroad program in Paris, where she earned a certificate in cooking French cuisine. She also studied at Franklin University Switzerland as a business school intern, and later completed an advanced French language program in Dijon, France. As a trilingual speaker of Farsi, French, and English, she brings a global perspective to her academic and professional endeavors.

Professionally, Yasmin interned at ArentFox Schiff, where she worked under attorney Malcolm McNeil, gaining exposure to sophisticated legal practice. She is particularly interested in the intersection of law and entrepreneurship, and aspires to integrate business innovation with legal strategy in her future career.

Outside of her academic and professional pursuits, Yasmin is a member of the American Harp Society and served as President of The Buckley School Orchestra, where she played both harp and piano. She is also a former varsity tennis player, equestrian rider, and skier. In her free time, she enjoys tennis with her two brothers, horseback riding, skiing, and cooking Persian cuisine with her family.
