Huda will also begin her third year as an Asistant Director of Athletics and Recreation in 2017-18. Huda will continue to provide primary administrative oversight for staffing, operations, programs, planning and budgeting for the Nerney Family Fitness Center and Cabrini's strength and conditioning program and will now have an expanded role in the administration of several intercollegiate sports.

Huda is also instrumental in the team's fundraising efforts, including those for the team's international trips to Brazil in 2008 and Europe in 2011 and 2014.
After completing her master’s degree in sports administration at West Chester University in 2005, Huda returned to Cabrini full-time, serving as the fitness coordinator at the Dixon Center.
Huda has earned the Goalkeeper Level I, II and III coaching diplomas, as well as her state license from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA).
She is a member of the National Association of Collegiate Women Athletics Administrators (NACWAA) and attended NACWAA’s Institute for Administrative Advancement in 2011.
