Prior to her lone season at the school in Nashville, Tennessee, she spent the fall 2021 campaign at Austin Peay State University as an assistant coach and director of operations. That followed three seasons (2019-21) at Brown University in Providence, R.I. where she worked primarily with the team’s hitters, infielders and catchers. Dew was integrally involved with student-athlete recruitment at the Ivy League school while also helping to organize the school’s softball camps while facilitating team travel.


Dew worked the 2017-18 school year as a volunteer assistant coach at Mercer University in Macon, Georgia, mentoring the program’s catchers while also involving herself in video analysis and scouting.


The year prior, Dew was an assistant coach at Brevard College, assisting in all aspects of the Division III program in North Carolina.


Dew graduated from Western Kentucky in 2013 with a bachelor’s degree in elementary education. She was two-time (2011, 2012) All-Sun Belt Conference First-Team selection who helped guide the Hilltoppers to the 2013 NCAA Regional.
