Gaby Cox

Gaby Cox is the kind of leader who brings both heart and vision to everything she touches at Project Iowa. As Director of Programs, she’s not only shaping transformative experiences for participants—she’s also building a culture of belonging and purpose within the team. Gaby believes deeply in seeing people as whole humans, and that belief is woven into every part of her work. She’s proud to be part of an organization where the mission and values line up perfectly with her own.

You’ll find Gaby either collaborating with the team in the office or out in the community, forming meaningful connections that keep our programs strong and responsive. She’s a big-picture thinker who’s always looking for ways to grow and improve, all while making space for wellness, both for herself and others.

Outside of work, Gaby teaches yoga and loves spending time outdoors—especially on long walks that help her stay grounded. If you ask her why she’s here, she’ll tell you it’s because Project Iowa changes lives. And if you ask anyone who’s worked with her, they’ll tell you she’s a big reason why.
