Coleman arrived in Foggy Bottom as the program’s Director of Basketball Operations after serving in the same role at Colgate during the 2024-25 season. Prior to the start of her first season at GW, Coleman transitioned into a coaching position with the program in late June.
While at Colagte, Coleman held an Assistant Coach title while also working as the program's DOBO. She not only assisted in on-court coaching and player development but also oversaw all team travel, program budget management and helped foster a positive team culture.
Before her stint with Colgate, Coleman was an Assistant Coach with North Platte Community College from 2022-24. Her stint was a successful one, helping guide the program to a Region IX Championship in 2023-24, while leading the defense to just 53.1 ppg allowed, the lowest the program had seen in the five previous seasons. Along with her coaching duties, Coleman was also North Platte’s Assistant Director of Multicultural Leadership and Engagement, where she spearheaded the development of campus events and created a dynamic student experience. Over her tenure, North Platte saw student participation in campus events rise 20%, a direct reflection of her work behind the scenes.
Coleman later worked as a Program Director and Head Coach with Team Go Get It, a travel basketball program based in Orange County, Calif., growing the organization from one team to three teams from 2019-22. Coleman also gained head coaching experience at Bechman High School, leading the girls basketball program from 2019-22, leading the team to the playoffs all three seasons.
Coleman graduated from Florida State in 2019 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Sociology. She was a member of the Seminoles’ women’s basketball team, serving as a captain during the 2014-15 campaign. Her degree also included minors in Hospitality, Public Affairs and Communication.
