Prior to her time at UTPA, Odale served as the assistant coach at Sam Houston State. From 1995-98, Odale also served as an assistant golf pro at Cypresswood Golf Club in Spring, Texas, where she worked under 2019 PGA Teacher of the Year Kevin Kirk. Odale has a decorated playing career on the golf course, as she was a two-time NGCA All-American during her playing days at SMU. Odale won seven tournaments in her collegiate career, including winning two Southwest Conference Championships. She was a three-time All-SWC selection and was named to the SWC All-Decade First Team.
