Where is she now:
Teal is currently an Integrity Partner at Cricket Australia, where they work to protect players and the sport overall from threats of doping, match fixing and other activities that may undermine the integrity of the game of cricket. They promote a culture of integrity from the community to the international level of cricket with codes and policies in place and a proactive and preventative approach to education, including the Code of Conduct to ensure the culture of the game reflects the Spirit of Cricket, the Anti-Doping Code, and Child & Young Person Safeguarding.

Favorite Plattsburgh State Sports Moment:
“My favourite Plattsburgh State sports moments are winning the ECAC West championship at home after an undefeated regular season my senior year and watching my sister, Tyne, win a national championship as a Cardinal in 2014.”
