The Blazers parted ways with Cody Sharrett in late January. Sharrett now works for the Minnesota Timberwolves and Lynx.
Baptist brings over 17,000 followers to the table and gratitude for the team she’s worked with prior.
I cannot say enough about the incredible humans, from the business side to basketball ops to the athletes, that work here. They’ve encouraged my weird dance moves when I get nervous, my crazy ideas & have truly become my 2nd family.

Moving so far after living in 1 place my whole life was scary, but I am SO thankful I did. The organization, team & fans have embraced me in ways I could have never imagined & have challenged me to grow both personally & professionally.
