Wright begins her third year with the Bucs in 2020-21.  

Wright helped lead the Bucs to their third straight Suncoast Conference Championship and second straight bid to the NJCAA National Tournament last season as FSW went 24-7 overall and 8-1 in conference action while playing one of the toughest schedules in the country.  She coached five players to All-Conference honors including Suncoast Conference Player of the Year Za'Nautica Downs who was also an All-State and NJCAA All-American selection.  Five players from the Bucs 2019-2020 squad signed National Letters of Intent to play at the next level including three at the NCAA Division I level. 

During her first season the Bucs went 30-4, winning a Suncoast Conference Championship and making their first appearance in the NJCAA National Tournament at season's end.  Wright helped coach and develop three NCAA Division I signees, a First Team NJCAA All-American, and five All-Conference players in 2018-19 with the Bucs.  

Wright joined the Buccaneers after spending two seasons as an assistant at NCAA Division II Shorter University.

Wright served as graduate assistant for the Pirates during the 2016-17 season, before spending the 2017-18 campaign as an assistant coach.

Prior to her stint at Shorter, Wright spent time overseas working with multiple sports ministry programs in Malta, Italy and Germany. In addition to organizing numerous sports camps throughout Italy, and participating in sports based leadership training in Germany, she worked hand in hand with the International Olympic committee in Malta. Rabun also trained players competing for Malta’s National Team.

A student-athlete on the University of Northern Alabama Women’s Basketball team from 2012-2015, Wright helped re-establish the FCA chapter at the University and led a small group bible study for women athletes on campus. During the summer of her sophomore year, Rabun worked as a media manager for the basketball venue at the National Special Olympic Games.    

Rabun is a 2012 graduate of Rabun County High School in Clayton, Georgia where she helped lead her team to the school’s first ever region championship. Rabun was a Wendy’s Heisman Athlete recipient, All-Region player, Piedmont Tournament MVP, and was selected to compete for the North/South All-Star game in 2012. Rabun was also selected as the All-Tournament Point Guard at the 2010 Wilson Smith All Star Game in Zolfingen, Switzerland.
