Jasmine Cosby
Biography
Jasmine Cosby is a third-year clinical psychology student with a strong commitment to supporting at-risk youth and families. She is currently working under Dr. Simon, focusing on the bi-directionality of trauma in adolescent relationships. Jasmine’s research explores both negative and positive factors that influence the mental health and lived experiences of underserved youth, particularly how PTSD symptoms impact peer relationships over time. Her ultimate goal is to refine and create evidence-based interventions that promote healthy relationships and improve overall well-being for vulnerable populations.
Jasmine has extensive experience working in community-based settings, including residential facilities, the Downtown Boxing Gym (an after-school program), and the Boys and Girls Club. These experiences have fueled her passion for developing targeted interventions that address trauma and other challenges faced by youth.
