Prior to her tenure at Gonzaga, Young worked as the Graduate Assistant for Fresno State women’s basketball where she served as the assistant to the recruiting coordinator. She was also responsible for organizing team travel, outreach programs, equipment and video exchange. In addition, Young was tasked with creating graphics and videos for social media and recruiting.
Young attended the University of San Diego, where she was a five-year member of the women’s basketball team. She earned a bachelor’s degree in communication studies with a minor in visual arts in 2018 and secured her master’s degree in sports administration from Fresno State in May of 2020.
