She helped the George Washington women’s rowing program to its first team championship at the Atlantic 10 Championships in 2023, as well as the team’s first appearance at the NCAA Championships. Her primary responsibilities as a coach at George Washington included working with the program’s walk-ons and assisting with recruiting student-athletes.

Perrett worked in a volunteer coach capacity with Ohio State’s rowing program in 2020-21 and 2021-22. While coaching at her alma mater, she helped guide the Buckeyes’ third varsity four crew to a second-place finish at the 2022 Big Ten Championship, improving a spot from the boat’s original seed.

A graduate of Ohio State in 2020, Perrett was a four-year letterwinner with the Buckeyes’ rowing program. She helped lead Ohio State to two Big Ten Conference titles during her time in Columbus. She was a part of the Buckeyes’ second varsity eight boat that finished in the top 10 at three straight NCAA Championships. Ohio State’s second varsity eight crew finished in fourth place in 2017 and in fifth place in 2019.
