She also spent three seasons (2020-21 thourgh 2022-23) with the title of Associate Head Coach for the Big Red before opting to take a step back and attend law school at the University of Akron following the 2022-23 campaign.

Before stepping down from her role as Associate Head Coach, Lloyd also served as an advisor for the Denison Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (DSAAC) in addition to her coaching duties.

Prior to Denison, Lloyd spent five seasons as an assistant at Colby-Sawyer College in New London, New Hampshire. While at Colby-Sawyer, Lloyd designed and conducted workouts for the Charger swimming and diving teams while programming the team's strength and conditioning program. Lloyd was also heavily involved in recruiting and fundraising at Colby-Sawyer. Lloyd also served as the head masters swim coach at Colby-Sawyer.

Prior to her time at Colby-Sawyer, Lloyd re-entered the coaching ranks by serving as the head swimming coach at Lebanon High School in Lebanon, New Hampshire. In her second year at Lebanon, the women's team won the state championship and in her third year, the team received the NISCA Scholar Team bronze award for maintaining grade point average above 3.20. Prior to her coaching stint at Lebanon HS, she spent nine years as the owner and chief instructor at the Chicago ATA Black Belt Academy.

A six-time All-American, she received the honor on relays all four years. Lloyd was a three-time Academic All-BIG Ten selection and a College Swimming Coaches Association of America first-team Scholar All-American in 1994.

That would not be the last time Lloyd would be recognized by the CSCAA. In early 2014, she was awarded the CSCAA Jean Freeman Scholarship Award. This award is presented annually to one male and one female assistant coach in each division of the NCAA. It is presented to an assistant coach whose exceptional contributions have brought recognition to their college or university, and whose leadership, integrity, honesty, competitive attitude and personal graciousness epitomize those characteristics reflected by Jean Freeman.

In 2013, Lloyd was published twice by United States Masters Swimming. She is certified by the Red Cross as a lifeguard training instruction, a water safety instructor, and in lifeguarding/First-Aid, and CPR. She remains an instructor certified by the American Taekwondo Association and is a fifth-degree black belt.
