A graduate of Oak Park High School, Cox has coached in the Basketball Manitoba provincial program since 2014 and was tabbed to head up the U18 Manitoba female team that would compete at the 2022 Canada Summer Games in the Niagara Region.

She got her first coaching assignment as an assistant on the U15 provincial team in 2014 and spent four seasons in the provincial program at both the U15 and U17 levels.

She also coached the Sturgeon Heights varsity girls program for two seasons.
