Jennifer Bushby enters her first season as assistant coach with the women's basketball program. Along with overseeing the guard players, she will help with scouting and practice and game preparations. 

An accomplished guard at the Division I level with the Ohio Bobcats, Bushby brings valuable insight to the Panthers from both a player and coaching perspective. Prior to joining the Ohio Dominican staff, she served as both the head coach of the 13U Columbus Lady Rage AAU squad and assistant coach of the Athens Bulldogs eighth-grade girls basketball team last season.

A four-year letterwinner and three-year starter and captain for the Bobcats, Bushby left Ohio as one of the most decorated players in school history, finishing her career as just the second player with at least 1,000 points, 300 assists and 300 steals. Along with keying the Bobcats run to the MAC Tournament Championship game in 2008, she also touts an impressive list of accolades, including four MAC Player of the Week Awards, Preseason All-MAC and Honorable Mention All-MAC in 2009-10, and All-MAC Freshman Team in 2006-07. In 2008-09, Bushby picked up Third Team All-MAC recognition after leading the conference and ranking 25th in the country with 159 assists, the fifth-highest single season output in program history. 

Bushby graduated in 2010 with a bachelor's degree in Sport Management and a Business Administration minor and earned a Master of Education in Recreation and Sport Sciences with a coaching emphasis in 2011.

She currently resides in Gahanna and was 2006 graduate of Gahanna Lincoln High School.
