Fornaro earned her Bachelors Degree in Business Management at the United States Coast Guard Academy in 2016 where she was a four-year member of the basketball team.

Fornaro was named the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Women's Basketball Player of the Year and a first team All-Region selection as she led the league with 19.5 points per game. She is third all-time at the Academy with 1,439 points and her 506 points this season was the fourth most in a single-season.

Upon graduation, she received a commission as a Military Officer and reported to Miami Beach, FL where she served as the Lead Boarding Officer and Deck Watch Officer aboard the 154’ cutter PAUL CLARK. After completion of her sea tour, Fornaro transferred to Coast Guard Sector Los Angeles/Long Beach where she served as a Marine Inspector.

She was then picked up for Naval Flight Training to become a Pilot in the Coast Guard. After two years of training in the T-6B and T-44C, she received her wings of gold and became Coast Guard aviator 5016. She then received orders to fly the HC-27J Spartan at McClellan Airfield for the next four years which has led her to our Woodcreek program and back to the basketball court.
