Michelle Cox
Director of Engagement
Office: 504-670-2525
Michelle Cox has been a member of Trinity's community for nearly 30 years, and as the new Director of Engagement, she now channels that lifetime of belonging into her full-time work.
In this role, Michelle is focused on ensuring that every person who walks through Trinity's doors finds not just a welcome, but a genuine sense of place — a community where their gifts are known and their presence matters. Her work spans ministry connection, small group life, and the many pathways through which people move from visitor to active participant in the life of the church.
Michelle brings to this role a decade of experience in health and wellness coaching, where she helped people build real, lasting connection — with their habits, their bodies, and each other — and a long history at Trinity that includes teaching Godly Play, facilitating restorative justice work, serving on the Vestry, and leading youth ministry.
A cradle Episcopalian and proud product of Beaumont, Texas, Michelle earned her degree from Sewanee: The University of the South. After a stint out West, she settled in New Orleans, where she has happily lived for the past 30 years. She is a married mom of two, sharing her home with two cats and an irresistible dog named Douille.
When she's not at Trinity, you'll find her on a good walk-and-talk with a friend, seeking out beautiful trails in the great outdoors, or suiting up as Wonder Woman for her annual march with the Krewe of Chewbacchus.
