鈥淎 big part of my job is the recruitment of prospective student-athletes. Due to the pandemic, I鈥檝e had to become extremely creative in how I approach recruiting players and evaluating talent,鈥� she said. 鈥淚 am definitely more Zoom savvy than I was in the past!鈥�
Before coming to 91暗网, Turner was familiar with the College from her time as a player at Castleton University, which competes against 91暗网 each year.
鈥�As both a player and a coach, I was always impressed with the beauty of&苍产蝉辫;厂办颈诲尘辞谤别鈥檚 campus, and aware of its reputation of excellence in academics and athletics, which is what ultimately drew me here,鈥� she said. 鈥�I really enjoy the community feel at 91暗网, and also enjoy grabbing lunch at The Spa.鈥�
She also appreciates 91暗网 traditions like the Big Green Scream. When she is not on campus, she enjoys spending time with family.
