Prior to Harford, Medina served as Assistant Athletic Director at Our Lady in Mount Carmel in Essex. At Mount Carmel, she implemented athletic department organizational methods, oversaw the participation interest and relaunch of middle school sports as well as the football program.

Medina has coached women's basketball at many levels (high school, junior college and NAIA) for the last 16 years. As a collegiate head coach, Medina earned NCCAA West Region Coach of the Year accolades two years back to back while at Bethesda University. During that time, she was the first and only Mexico-born head coach at the collegiate level for both men and women. She made her transition from coaching to athletic administration by first becoming a Sports Management professor at Our Lady of the Lake University in Texas and then at Bowie State University.

Medina received her bachelors in Sociology from San Diego State in 2009 and earned a Master's in Education and another in Organizational Leadership from National University in 2013. She is currently pursuing her Doctorate in Psychology with an emphasis on mental health.
