My name is Kanecia Cooks, and I am a graduate student in the health promotion program. I am originally from Colorado Springs, and I have lived here my whole life. I studied nutrition at the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley, Colorado and received my bachelor’s degree in May of 2020. In my free time, I enjoy reading, shopping, and spending time with family and friends. I am very excited to be on the MOSAIC and LGBTQ+ Resource Center team as the graduate assistant, and I hope that my passion for equitable health and wellness will allow me to serve as an asset and bring greater support for marginalized populations to the UCCS campus!
