She has coached at the club basketball level, most recently with the Junior Bison girls program.
Tiara commented, "“Having played basketball since I was a little kid, I am so excited to be a part of Basketball Manitoba. With my experience as a player, coach and program coordinator, I think this opportunity will be a great fit! I look forward to working with the organization and everyone within the basketball community."
In this position, she will assist in the planning, developing and managing all aspects of the coach and referee certification & education programs, elite programming, provincial championships, special events, youth programming, financial management and office management.
