In addition to managing day-to-day Monogram Club needs, Hunter will serve as an assistant athletics director for student-athlete alumni relations. In this new role, she will spearhead and coordinate outreach to all former Notre Dame student-athletes, beyond the scope of the Monogram Club.

There, she was responsible for overseeing the marketing, promotions, advertising, and community service for all 16 varsity sports programs, as well as proctoring the licensing program for the entire university.
While at Northern Colorado, Hunter also served as assistant tournament director for the 2001 NCAA Division II Wrestling Championships, and gained experience working for NCAA productions at the NCAA Women's College World Series and the Division I NCAA Women's and Men's Volleyball championships.
