Knight joins GW as the program’s Director of Basketball Operations after serving as the Director of Marketing & Sales with the University of Richmond since 2022.
With the Spiders, Knight was an integral part of internal operations and gameday experiences, working with football, men’s and women’s basketball, Richmond’s “Family Fun Zone,” the “Spiders Kids Club,” the “Spiders Scholastic Stars” and coordinating all email marketing efforts as well.
Knight’s in-game responsibilities included scripting and managing all promotions, coordinating fan and student engagement items, scripting all game flow and run-of-show items, and managing performances that happened pregame and at halftime.

Knight got her start in collegiate basketball with Delaware State, serving as the women’s basketball program’s Director of Operations from 2012-14. Through over 10 years of experience in collegiate athletics, Knight has worked with 10 revenue-generating programs that have gone on to compete in the national tournament, notably including two consecutive trips to the NCAA Tournament with Richmond’s women’s basketball team.
Knight earned a Bachelor of Arts in Sport Management with a minor in Business Administration in 2011 from Pfeifer and a Master of Science in Sport Administration from Delaware State in 2018.
