Our people Leah Cox

Leah Cox serves as the Operations Manager for the Voices for Healthy Kids team. In her role, Leah serves as an advisor to the program staff, ensures adherence to compliance, develops standard operating procedures, leads budget development and financial management, manages contracting and procurement, conducts staff onboarding/training, and serves as the liaison with internal and external business partners.

She has been working with government grant programs for twelve years and enjoys the unique creativity required in building something from the ground up or integrating new opportunities into existing programs. Where many people see red tape and regulations, Leah sees an opportunity to problem-solve and think outside the box.

As a Tucson, Arizona native, she graduated from the University of Arizona in 2006 with a Bachelor’s in Psychology, then continued her education by obtaining her Master’s in Education from Northern Arizona University. In the workplace she is known for her positive attitude, dependability, and for remaining calm and composed in difficult situations.  She is committed to helping Voices for Healthy Kids and the communities which it serves to meet their goal of a healthier future for youth.

Outside of the workplace she can be found spending time with her family, which consists of her partner, two children, and Siberian Husky. She is usually up for anything and loves trying new things; from spelunking to lazy weekends, and everything in between.
