Jasi Lanier embarked on a unique path into the world of stunts, blending her artistic talents and diverse experiences. After earning her degree in Media Arts from the University of South Carolina, she dabbled in modeling, acted in horror films, and even showcased her fire-eating skills to manage her student debt. A pivotal moment came during a film project in New Jersey, where she met co-star Joseph Anthony, leading her to relocate to the north. Here, she studied the Meisner Technique with Glen Vincent and honed her martial arts skills in ShotoKan Karate. In New York City, she continued her acting education under the guidance of Olinda Turturro and Enzo Carolina, performing in numerous indie films.

While she enjoyed her roles in B-horror films and modeling, Jasi felt a calling towards stunt work. Inspired by her Uncle Dusty, a performer in live stunt shows during the 60s and 70s, and fueled by articles on stuntwomen in Femme Fatales magazine, she dedicated herself to pursuing her true passion. Jasi's career as a stuntwoman reflects her diverse background and unwavering determination, setting her apart in the industry.
