Harvey begins her fourth season at Henderson State in 2024-25, serving as the associate women's basketball coach. During the 2023-24 season, she served as a critical part of an HSU coaching staff that guided the Reddies to their first Great American Conference title.

In 2022-23, Harvey helped lead HSU to a 17-12 overall record and a 14-8 league standing - tied for its best GAC record since the 2017-18 season - that saw the red-and-gray make it to the conference tournament for the sixth year in a row. 

In Harvey's first season at HSU in the 2021-22 season, the Reddies boasted the third-ranked scoring offense in the GAC and held the best 3-point field goal percentage of anyone in the league at 37 percent. Henderson's prolific offense led them to the GAC Tournament Semifinals for the second time in three years.

This is the second time Harvey has joined forces with head coach Jill Thomas and the first as a fellow coach. The first time came while Harvey played for Thomas at Pfeiffer University from 2009-2013. Harvey was a standout under Thomas for the Falcons as she finished her career seventh all-time in program history with 1200 career points. As a senior, Harvey averaged 16.8 points and 9.5 rebounds per game, leading PU to the Conference Carolinas championship game and the second round of the NCAA Division II Tournament.

Harvey joins the HSU coaching ranks after serving as the head assistant at Young Harris College for two seasons where, in her first year, they made the Peach Belt Conference Tournament for the first time in school history and the first winning record since 2013-14. Prior to that, Harvey spent two years at Gannon University in Erie, Pennsylvania as an assistant coach.

During her time with the Golden Knights, Harvey was recognized by the Women's Basketball Coaches Association as one of their Thirty Under 30 honorees for the 2018-19 season. The WBCA Thirty Under 30 program was created to recognize 30 up-and-coming women's basketball coaches age 30 and under at all levels of the game.

Harvey graduated from Pfeiffer with a bachelors degree in exercise science with a sports medicine concentration and minor in athletic coaching in 2013. She later received a masters degree in exercise science and health promotion from California University of Pennsylvania in 2014.
