She is experiencing acculturative stress.

Explanation:

Acculturation is the process of assimilating a different - most of the times, dominating - culture. Acculturative stress is a possible result of acculturation. It is the reduction in a person's health status due to stressors associated with being a minority or being an immigrant. Acculturative stress can, for instance, lead to depression. As we can notice from the description in the question, Jazmine is going through acculturation in Tampa Bay, and it's been causing her to feel uneasy, unhappy, and unsatisfied with her new job. Jazmine is going through a lot of stress due to the differences in language, weather, and the social culture. Therefore, she is experiencing acculturative stress.
