WORK HISTORY
Graduate Assistant @Idaho State University
Pocatello, ID, US
In my role as a Graduate Assistant with Idaho State Women’s Basketball, I support the daily operations and development of a Division I program while contributing to both on-court performance and off-court program management. My responsibilities include assisting with player development through individual workouts and rebounding sessions, coordinating and breaking down practice and game film for coaches, and supporting opponent scouting preparation. I also help manage team travel logistics, including itineraries, hotels, and meals for home and away competitions. Beyond basketball operations, I contribute to recruiting efforts by communicating with prospective student-athletes and assisting with both unofficial and official visits. I also help organize program events and fundraisers, including our annual Crab Feed which raised over in support of the program. Additionally, I oversee the coordination of team managers and practice players to ensure efficient day-to-day operations and provide the staff with the support needed to run a high-level Division I program.
