As the Senior Associate Athletics Director, LaRose also oversees compliance, heritage, events management and all of the C.A.T.S. student-athlete services – academics, medical services, life skills development and equipment operations. She also chairs the department’s Equity and Title IX committees, and she directs the NCAA certification process.

She also has chaired various Pac-10 committees. In 1990, LaRose developed the Commitment for Athletes’ Total Success (C.A.T.S), an educational approach used by student-athlete services to better the student-athlete academically, athletically, and personally. LaRose was the recipient of the university’s 2004 Billy Joe Varney Award, the institution’s top career service honor for members of the faculty or staff. Raised in Phoenix, LaRose received both her Bachelor of Science and master’s degrees from the University of Arizona. While in attendance, she competed on the UA softball team as a starting infielder and clean-up hitter, leading the Cats to their first-ever conference championship in 1979. She competed in the 1979 World Cup Softball championship as a member of the USA National Championship team. She also was a member of the Arete Society (UA’s Athletics Honorary) and was the 1978 UA Homecoming Queen.
