Seaborne comes to the Terrapins after serving as interim head coach in her second season at Arkansas. After joining the program in July 2019, Seaborne helped develop a doubles duo to reach an ITA ranking of No. 8 in the country, where they reached the Elite 8 in the 2019 National Fall Championships. During her time with the Razorbacks multiple singles players made appearances in the top 125 ITA singles rankings, as well as a top 50 team appearance during spring of 2020 before the season was cut short.
A Big Ten alumna, Seaborne was the Volunteer Assistant at Iowa, where she played the second half of her collegiate career. While there, the London native helped guide the Hawkeyes to a 16-9 record, including Big 10 victories over Indiana, Minnesota, Nebraska, Penn State and Wisconsin. During her playing days as a Hawkeye, Seaborne racked up the individual honors, including two First-Team All-Big 10 selections. She was named the team's MVP in both of those seasons as well, posting a 45-24 cumulative record.
Seaborne graduated from the University of Iowa with a bachelor's degree in psychology in May 2015. She also earned a minor in sports studies.
