Following her career at Michigan, she was selected by the Charlotte Sting in the 1998 WNBA draft where she played six years as a center and forward. Needless to say, Pollyanna brings a unique coaching style and method to the program that has proven successful in various sports industries. Her extensive experience and expertise make her an excellent addition to our team. Her passion for coaching and dedication to player development are unmatched. Under her leadership, we aim to elevate our team's performance and achieve new milestones.
