Sanchez spent part of 2014 working as a student teacher at Marshall Elementary School in Eureka for the fall semester. Sanchez, who was affiliated with the school via a college program, also worked at the junior high level, coaching volleyball and basketball under Rule 10, meaning she wasn't a certified teacher who could independently coach.
