Davis is in her fifth season as head coach of the Trinity College women's basketball team after guiding the Bantams to their best season since 1999-00.  Trinity finished with a 17-8 mark in 2008-09, qualified for the NESCAC Championship Tournament for the third time in four years, and advanced to the NESCAC Semifinals for the first time in program's history.  The Bantams are 2-1 and captured the Golden Bears Hoop Classic at Western New England College during the winter season's first weekend.  Davis is 49-49 as the Bantam head coach.

In 2004-05, Davis was named as the Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) Coach of the Year, as the Golden Bears posted a 19-8 record. She also served as an assistant coach at the University of Connecticut in 1993-94.

Davis earned her bachelor's degree in elementary education from the University of Connecticut in 1992 and added a master's degree from her alma mater in 1994, while helping the perennial women's basketball national power earn four NCAA bids and a trip to the NCAA Final Four in 1991. The seventh-leading scorer in UConn women's basketball history, Davis was a three-time Academic All-American and made the all-tournament team in the 1991 NCAA Regional Championship.
