One of UTSA's best in the Aston era, Coleman was announced as the program's Director of Operations after helping UTSA go 18-15, collecting the team's most wins and the first national postseason berth since the 2008-09 campaign. She also led the 'Runners to their inaugural postseason victory via an 80-62 routing of Northern Colorado in the Opening Round of the WNIT. 

After redshirting at Texas, Coleman transferred to UTSA and had an immediate impact on the squad, eventually becoming the program's all-time blocking leader, swatting 140 shots and joining the 500-rebound club with 588 boards representing the ninth-most in program history. Across 94 games for the Roadrunners, she started 78, averaging 9.3 PPG and 7.2 RPG. She was named to the 2022-23 Conference-USA All-Defensive Team as a redshirt sophomore, and for her work in the classroom was featured on the 2021-22 C-USA Commissioners Honor Roll and the 2023-24 American Athletic Conference All-Academic Team.

Coleman boasts a wealth of basketball knowledge. She has previously worked camps at Atascocita High School and UTSA while playing a significant role in training and developing athletes across younger AAU divisions. She graduated from UTSA in December 2023 with a bachelor's degree in sociology.
