Drummond enters her seventh season with the program after joining Sarah Dalton's coaching staff in August of 2016. She was promoted to the position of associate head coach in September of 2019. 

Drummond was key in Vermont earning its first America East Championship in program history in 2022. The Catamounts posted a program-best 14-5 (3-3 AE) en route to their first ever NCAA Tournament appearance. Vermont produced five America East All-Conference members, including first teamers Carolyn Carrera, Taylor Mullen, and Ava Vasile. Vasile and Carrera also became the first Catamounts in program history to receive ILWomen All-America accolades. Carrera ranked No. 2 in the nation in caused turnovers per game (2.89) and No. 3 ground balls per game (3.28) on the back end for Vermont. Under Drummond's guidance, the Catamounts' unit ranked No. 4 in the country in caused turnovers per game. 

Drummond has helped move the program forward during her time on the sidelines. The 2021 Catamounts secured their first America East Playoff berth since joining the program, clinching the No. 3 seed with a 6-6 (6-3 AE) record. The 2020 Cats posted a 4-4 overall record before the season was cut short due to the COVID-19 Pandemic (Coronavirus). In 2019, UVM reached the win column eight times – the most victories in five years. In her three seasons, she has developed eight All-America East performers. Jenna Janes became the first Vermont player to collect America East First Team All-Conference honors since 2015. Freshman Grace Giancola landed on the All-Conference Second Team and one of three Catamount newcomers to make the All-Rookie Team.  

Two years ago, the Cats had the third-best win improvement rate in Division I. UVM’s +5-win improvement from 2017 was tied with Boston College for the best among New England programs. The Cats had two first-year athletes, MacKenzie Bolt and Jessica English, land on the America East All-Rookie Team.
 
In her first season, UVM played a competitive schedule against four teams who earned a berth into the NCAA Tournament – Albany, Bryant, Louisville, and Stony Brook. The 2017 Cats also played a pair of ranked opponents – No. 4 Stony Brook and No. 16 Denver. Drummond helped the Class of 2017 graduate with 30 career victories, which is tied for the fourth-most by a graduating class. The unit helped set the program record with 12 wins in 2014 and set the school mark with four conference victories in 2015.

The Nashua, New Hampshire native came to Burlington after three seasons as an assistant coach at Dartmouth. With the Big Green, she was the lead defensive coach and was responsible for recruiting. Drummond also organized all team travel and logistics.
 
She graduated from Oregon in 2012 after a four-year playing career. Drummond left Oregon ranked fourth in program history in career draw controls and fifth in ground balls. During her senior year, she helped the Ducks claim the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation title and a spot in the NCAA Tournament play-in-game as part of the best season in program history.
 
Following her senior season, she served as an undergraduate assistant coach at Oregon working with the full-time staff on daily tasks associated with practices and game management.
