Hailing from the Nutmeg state originally, Marinda has played a combined 18 years of rugby with five clubs nationwide during her career, most notably as a
starter for the Austin Valkyries out of TX, consistently ranked in the top 10 nationally during her time there. Marinda has held a number of leadership positions with her clubs, including captain and president, as well as various playing honors, including select side play with MARFU and FRU. A reluctant retiree from the game, she is excited to share her knowledge and experience with the Roses as a coach.
