She had a two-year stint as a women’s basketball graduate assistant at Clemson. While with the Tigers, she oversaw the team managers, while assisting with individual workout plans, recruit visits and film breakdown.

The WBCA Thirty Under 30 program was created to recognize 30 up-and-coming women’s basketball coaches aged 30 and under at all levels of the game.
