While coaching at Seattle Pacific, Hildebrandt also coached the Lake Washington Rowing Club’s juniors and masters teams from 2013-2023. Before that, she served as the Assistant Juniors Coach at Eastside Preparatory School for two years, the Juniors Coach for the Pioneer Valley Riverfront Club for one year and the Head Club Coach for Springfield College for two years.

She earned her bachelor's in Business Administration from Pacific Lutheran University and her Masters of Science Exercise Physiology with a concentration in Wellness & Fitness from California University of Pennsylvania. Hildebrandt was a four year student athlete at Pacific Lutheran University from 2001- 2005.

"I am very excited to join the Clemson rowing staff and be a part of the Tiger family," said Coach Hildebrandt.

I'm looking forward to a great year and hopefully a return to the national stage."
