During the 2023-24 season, Boyd was key to the Lady Mavs success, helping them to their best regular season and tournament finish in the Western Athletic Conference.

Prior to being elevated to assistant coach, Boyd spent the prior season as the director of operations after joining head coach Shereka Wright’s staff as a graduate assistant manager in 2020-21.
Boyd was a vital part of the team's success in 2021-22 as UTA captured the Sun Belt tournament championship, finished with a 20-8 record and nearly upset No. 3 seed Iowa State in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament.

Before coming to Arlington, Boyd served as an assistant coach at Jacksonville College (2019-20) in Jacksonville, Texas, and Arkansas-Fort Smith (2018-19). She also led the St. Helena High School program from 2016-18, where she guided the team to its first playoff season in decades.
Boyd played three seasons for UTRGV before finishing her collegiate playing career and graduating from Southeastern Louisiana in 2016 with a bachelor’s degree in psychology.

The New Orleans native started 60 games and racked up 778 points, 305 rebounds, 297 assists, 132 steals and knocked down 81 triples during her time at UTRGV and Southeastern. Boyd spent the 2018 season playing professionally overseas for K.B. Tirana in Albania.
