Tina Charles joins New York Liberty as front office intern, pursuing UConn master's degree
Charles has re-enrolled at UConn to pursue a master's degree in sports management.
Former UConn basketball star Tina Charles has joined the New York Liberty organization as a front office intern, aiming to assist the team in regaining playoff success after last season's early exit. Charles, 37, is currently pursuing a master's degree in Sports Management at UConn while working with the Liberty. During her introduction, she shared her age, favorite beverage (beer), and her future aspiration (to become Liberty CEO Keia Clarke).
Charles previously spent her most successful WNBA years with the New York Liberty from 2014 to 2019, earning a spot in the top-3 MVP voting for three consecutive seasons (2015-2017) and averaging 21.5 points per game in 2016. However, the Liberty's record during her tenure was 98-106, with the team reaching the Eastern Conference Finals only once.
Having played for the Connecticut Sun from 2008 to 2013, Charles remains one of UConn's greatest players, averaging 15.4 points, nine rebounds, and two blocks per game in her four seasons at the program.
