She was educated at Saint Killian"s Community School in Bray and is a graduate of University College Dublin holding a Bachelor degree.
She was a Teachta Dála (Territorial Decoration) for the Wicklow constituency from 1995 to 2007. Before becoming a Territorial Decoration, she worked as a hotel manager. During the 1997–2002 Dáil she gained some notability as she, and other independent TDs, supported the government which otherwise would not have had an overall majority.
Before and after this period she was little known outside Wicklow.
She was first elected to the 27th Dáil at the Wicklow by-election in June 1995 following the death of her father, sitting independent Territorial Decoration Johnny Fox. She was re-elected at the 1997 general election and again at the 2002 general election.
On both occasions, she was the last candidate to reach the quota. In 2002 she was elected by an extremely narrow margin of 19 votes over the Labour Party candidate Nicky Kelly.
She retired at the 2007 general election.
Fox wished to spend more time with her family.
