About Ms. Gomez

My name is Jasmine Gomez and I'm the Band Director at Long Branch Middle School. This upcoming school year will be my 7th year overall in the district, and my 2nd year here at the middle school! As a proud alumna of Long Branch (class of 2009), I was thrilled to begin my teaching career as a substitute teacher in 2013. I have taught long-term music positions in other districts, such as Piscataway and Lakewood. I have also worked as an Instructional Assistant at the Morris Ave School from 2015-2017. From 2017 to 2022, I taught elementary band for grades 3 through 5 at the George L. Catrambone Elementary School. 

Outside of the classroom, I worked as the Assistant Marching Band Director for Red Bank Regional HS and Point Pleasant Beach HS. I'm happy to be the Assistant Band Director for the band where my love for music grew as a student; Long Branch High School's Spirit of the Green Wave Marching Band.

I attended Seton Hall University from 2009 to 2017, earning my bachelor's degree in Secondary Education/Music Education and my master's degree in Instructional Design and Technology. I was fortunate enough to be one of the founding members of the Seton Hall Chamber Orchestra in 2009, under the direction of Professor Murray Colosimo.
