Cook recently completed a Master of Science in Human Resource Management from Strayer University. He currently is a Human Resource Generalist at Kuehne+Nagel. Cook is also a licensed minister.
“Working in Human Resources has afforded me the opportunity to build relationships with people from diverse backgrounds and contribute to their lives in meaningful ways,” Cook said. “I desire to be an advocate for change and a voice for all people. You can count on me to represent District 6 well, most of all the State of Mississippi.”
