Jaela Eggers was hired as Eastern Washington women's basketball Assistant Coach and Director of Operations in August of 2025 by head coach Joddie Gleason. 

Jaela arrives at Eastern after working at Seattle Pacific University last academic year (2024-25) in various roles as a graduate assistant intern. She assisted with administrative support, event coordination and compliance responsibilities for the Falcons. Jaela helped schedule practices, organize home events, along with monitoring academic progress of student-athletes. 

Prior to Seattle Pacific, Jaela worked as a Social Media and Events Coordinator intern for George Fox University from January 2023 to April 2024. In her role, Jaela helped monitor and analyze social media trends and incorporate those trends in social media strategies. She also collaborated with the marketing team to create content to strengthen organizational branding and achieve departmental goals.

Outside of collegiate athletics, Jaela spent six years as an AAU Basketball Coach in Bellevue, Wash., working as a part of Friends of Hoop Seattle. Jaela handled both coaching and administrative jobs in her role as a coach. 

Jaela earned her master’s of education in Intercollegiate Athletic Leadership from the University of Washington this past June. She earned her bachelor’s degree in Organizational Communication and a minor in Business Administration from George Fox in August of 2024. 

The job is a family affair for Jaela as her sister, Jaecy Eggers, is going into her sophomore season for EWU.
