CLUB CAPTAIN
She has served as captain of Perfumerias Avenida in the Spanish Liga Femenina. She played for the team from 2006 to 2012 and returned in 2015. "In my second spell at Avenida I was the oldest player on the team, so it [being captain] came with being a veteran. I'm proud, but at the same time it's a lot of responsibility. The satisfaction comes mainly in being the face of the team in many cases. Lifting trophies is nice too. But sometimes you must be an example for the rest of the team." (lagacetadesalamanca.es, 22 Apr 2016; joven.unicajabanco.es, 27 Mar 2019)

COACHING
She leads a youth basketball training camp in Barcelona, Spain, called the Cruz + Dominguez Camp alongside her national teammate Anna Cruz. The club is aimed at ages 11-17. (cruzdominguez.camp, 01 Jul 2019)
