Yasmin
for Herndon

Consultant turned Public Servant

Yasmin Shafiq

A Neighbor.
A Public Servant.

Yasmin Shafiq has spent her career in public service and environmental consulting in Northern Virginia, and the Herndon area is home. She currently works as a Management Analyst at the Fairfax County Park Authority, where she helps manage the parks, trails, and green spaces that families across the county use every day.

Before joining county government, Yasmin spent nearly a decade as a federal consultant at Booz Allen Hamilton and EY, managing renewable energy projects worth over $20 million for the Department of Energy, the Navy, and the Department of Defense. That work gave her a close-up view of how careful planning and responsible stewardship of public resources can make a real, lasting difference.

Since 2017, Yasmin has served as a Fairfax County Chief Election Officer, helping coordinate smooth, fair elections at the precinct level. She trains staff, guides fellow officers, and makes sure every neighbor who shows up to vote has a good experience. For her, it is not just a seasonal role. It is a commitment.

Away from work, Yasmin is a member of the League of Women Voters and previously served as Chairperson of the Board of Trustees at the ADAMS Center, one of Northern Virginia's most respected community institutions. She holds a degree from Virginia Tech in Crop and Soil Environmental Sciences, with a focus on sustainability and international agriculture. She speaks Bangla, English, and some Spanish.

Yasmin is running for Herndon Town Council because she has been doing the work of civic service for years. She is ready to bring that same commitment to the people of Herndon.
